Bio
As a senior at Eureka High School in Missouri, Hassan Haskins took 255 carries for 2,197 yards and 33 touchdowns. He added 12 receptions, 165 receiving yards, two receiving touchdowns, and nine sacks on defense. Haskins earned three-star recruiting status and was courted by a number of schools, including Michigan, Western Kentucky, Memphis, and Purdue. He chose Michigan and when he landed in Ann Arbor, Haskins found himself buried on the depth chart behind starter Karan Higdon and others. He did not see an offensive touch as a freshman, instead contributing as a special-teamer. The next year, Haskins earned himself a spot in the rotation, rushing 121 times for 622 yards and four touchdowns, while continuing to play on coverage units. That role grew a little bigger in 2020, when Haskins led the team with 61 carries for 375 yards and six touchdowns in six games.
Haskins finally found himself as the true lead dog in the Michigan backfield in 2021. He took advantage, toting the rock 270 times for 1,327 yards and 20 touchdowns. He added a career-high 18 receptions for 131 yards. Haskins was named first-team All-Big Ten and second-team All-American.

Bottom Line:
Hassan Haskins is a traditional north-south runner who will be best in an inside-zone or power-gap scheme at the next level. He won’t beat anyone with speed and isn’t exactly explosive, but he’ll follow his blocks and get tough, physical yards. He’s limited as a receiver but showed capable hands when given the opportunity. Still, he will need to develop that area of his game if he is ever to become a fantasy asset worth pursuing. Haskins will likely find draft capital on Day 3. In dynasty, he will be a late-round rookie pick with the hopes he returns value as “the next man up.”
