The man approached Hasan while he was alone and offered him the deal. Allegedly, the mobster mentioned that similar arrangements had been made with players from the University of Alabama.

Hasan explained:

"We regularly talk to guys in your position about fixing games,” Hasan said. “He named guys in the SEC, who I don’t wanna say their names, because they’re in the NFL right now, and that’s a bad look.”

“But the University of Alabama … He said almost every game in the SEC is rigged.”

Unfortunately, he tore his knee ligaments during spring practice in 2021 and had to undergo surgery, which ruled him out for the entire season.

Despite his injury, Hasan was named a 2021 Allstate Good Works Team member and Wuerrfel Trophy semifinalist and won the USC Community Service Award.
