Henry Hasselbeck’s arm talent is intriguing, but App State is still sorting the QB pecking order
In the 2026 season, Henry Hasselbeck has flashed efficiency in limited action — 3 completions on 4 attempts for 37 yards, with no touchdowns or interceptions — but he’s still competing for the starting job at Appalachian State rather than locking it down. His calling card is pedigree and upside: a 6-foot-3, 200-pound QB who was a top Massachusetts prep player and Gatorade state Player of the Year, with reports noting he spent time as a scout-team QB at UCLA. Translation: high ceiling, still raw, and a fit for a team willing to develop his game.
