LET’S GET TO KNOW HASSAN
Why do you play football?
I was signed up for it at a young age by my mom because I was so aggressive when I was young. Since then it’s been kind of like a comfort thing for me. It helps release stress.
It’s gameday! What are you looking forward to the most?
Seeing who I like up against. I love to compete and when I line up against someone is just as competitive it pushes me to be the best player I can be.
Who is your favorite sports star and WHY?
Jaycee horn, he’s humble and works his tail off and that’s all I want to be. I don’t want to be a media star I just wanna play ball
Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
My interception against archbishop Ryan, I caught the pick late in the 4th quarter and the game was still close. It was a perfect opportunity to put my team back in the game and I was just excited I was the guy to do it
What was last years season like for you?
Last season wasn’t the best season for my team but last season was definitely a great season for me. I became more confident in my game and stepped up into a larger role for the team.
What are your goals for this coming season?
Of course I have my own personal goals but my biggest goal for this year is to make the younger guys the best they can be. I want them to be better than me and that all falls back on giving them a good look while they’re on scout and also making sure they’re assignment perfect.

Raiders home game before they relocated to LA.

Cleveland browns.

Who is your mentor, the person you want to be like? WHY?
My grandpop. He’s a one of a kind person in my opinion, you don’t walk down the street and meet someone like him. He’s genuine, funny, intelligent, and family oriented. He does whatever is asked of him without a second thought regardless if he’s hurting or tired.
Name a sport you’d love to play but can’t:
Basketball
What is your most embarrassing sports moment?
Archbishop Ryan game my sophomore year my teammate caught a pick and I decided to block the qb because he was in a brace, the qb plowed through my face and laid me flat on my back.

Definitely my best friend, she doesn’t understand much about football and but she shows up to nearly every game and supports while sitting right next to my mom.
