Jared Hassin (December 17, 1989 - October 24, 2023)[1] was an American football running back who played for the Army Black Knights
Hassin was born and grew up in the state of Wisconsin. He played football at Kettle Moraine High School, where he played both running back and linebacker.
Hassin briefly attended the United States Air Force Academy, but quickly decided he wanted to transfer to the United States Military Academy.[2] [3] After transferring from the Air Force Academy to the Military Academy, Hassin sat out the 2009 season due to NCAA rules regarding transfers.[2] Hassin rushed for 1,013 yards and scored nine touchdowns as a sophomore in 2010.[4] [5] He tied the Army school record in 2010 with four consecutive 100-yard rushing games.[6] His output dropped in his junior and senior seasons, and he left the team with five games remaining in his senior year.[7] Hassin graduated from the academy in 2013.[8] Hassin was a third-generation member of the U.S. Army, as both his father and grandfather had served in it. His father had also graduated from the U.S. Military Academy.[2]
Hassin deployed to Afghanistan.[9]
Hassin had an affinity for dogs. He erected a memorial in Afghanistan to a war dog that had protected his unit's tactical outpost. Upon returning to civilian life, he volunteered with humane societies, ultimately adopting two dogs from them.[9]
Hassin died on October 24, 2023.[9]
