Feb 03 | Football
PISCATAWAY, N.J. – TE Jovani Haskins earned a spot on the roster for East-West Shrine Bowl set for tonight. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET on NFL Network. Haskins joins fellow Scarlet Knights RB Isaih Pacheco and LS Billy Taylor in the game.
The contest will be played at Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders. The event is the longest running college all-star football game in the nation and benefits Shriners Hospitals for Children. Twenty Scarlet Knights have previously participated in past years, including Franks Burns (1949), Marco Battaglia (1996), Jeremy Zuttah (2007), Courtney Greene (2009), Desmond Wynn (2012), Scott Vallone (2013), Keith Lumpkin (2016), Saquan Hampton (2019) and Brendan White (2021).
Haskins started all 22 games at tight end the past two seasons for the Scarlet Knights. He totaled 11 receptions for 141 yards and a touchdown in 2021, including a career-best 52 receiving yards versus Michigan State. Haskins posted two catches for first downs in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl against Wake Forest and hauled in a go-ahead, 30-yard touchdown pass in the win at Syracuse.
