	Athletes - Mike Hass

Mike Hass (born on January 2, 1983 in Portland, Oregon) was a starting wide receiver for Oregon State University from 2003-2005. Although Hass was an outstanding player in high school, most college scouts felt his limited size and speed would prevent him from excelling at the collegiate level. Hass was not offered a football scholarship by any NCAA Division I schools, and ended up as a walk-on at Oregon State. After playing mostly on special teams in 2002, Hass was awarded a scholarship and a starting role as he broke out with the first of three consecutive 1,000+ receiving yard seasons in 2003. He continued his torrid pace in 2004, breaking more school and conference records on his way to being named a third-team All-American. In 2005, his senior season, he won the Fred Biletnikoff Award and was named a consensus first-team All-American.

Hass is currently eligible for the 2006 NFL Draft. His excellent hands and route-running skills will certainly land him a job in the NFL; however, there are ongoing concerns about his speed. At the 2006 NFL Combine, he (unofficially) ran an 4.61 second 40-yard dash, a relatively slow time for a wide receiver, but was reportedly very impressive during the catching drills.

Career highlights

High school

Hass played on the varsity football team as a wide receiver and defensive back at Jesuit High School in Portland, Oregon for three years. He helped lead the team to an OSAA 4A State Championship in 2000 as a senior.

College

Despite only playing three seasons, Hass currently holds many Oregon State records, as well as several Pac-10 records. Some of these include:

Became the first receiver in Oregon State and Pac-10 history to have three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, and is only the 10th player in NCAA history to do so
Holds the Oregon State record and is 2nd in the Pac-10 for receiving yards in a career with 3,924
Only player in Oregon State & Pac-10 history with two 225-plus yards receiving games
His 293 receiving yards against Boise State in the 2004 season is an Oregon State & Pac-10 record for most receiving yards in a single game
His 20 receiving touchdowns ties him for the Oregon State record for receiving touchdowns in a career
His 90 receptions in the 2005 season is an Oregon State record for most receptions in a single season
His 220 receptions in his college career is an Oregon State record for most receptions in a career
His 1,532 receiving yards in the 2005 season is an Oregon State & Pac-10 record for most receiving yards in a single season

Many have speculated that had Hass played as a freshman, he could have broken the NCAA records for career receptions (at 300, he would have needed 80 receptions his freshman year to match the record) and receiving yards in a career (at 5005, he would have needed 1081 receiving yards his freshman year to match the record).

In his senior year, Hass was invited to the 81st annual East-West Shrine Game, impressing NFL scouts by catching 4 passes for 107 yards, including catching the game-winning touchdown for the West.
