The Peoria, Ariz., native earned NAU Football’s Academic Excellence Award, and he was named the 2013-14 NAU “The Lumberjack” award winner for all-around male student-athlete. Hasquet boasts a 3.97 GPA in biomedical science, and he plans to attend medical school following graduation.

He earned Defensive Sophomore of the Year honors after finishing second on the team with 61 tackles, and he was named Defensive Junior of the Year for his team-leading 91 tackles and three interceptions.
