Mike Hass Inducted Into College Football Hall Of Fame
Mike Hass became the fifth former player or coach from Oregon State to be inducted into the College Football of Fame when he was honored Tuesday along with his class at the 64th annual National Football Foundation Awards dinner.
Hass joined fellow student-athletes Terry Baker (1982) and Bill Enyart (2011) as those who starred on the field to be inducted. OSU's inducted coaches include Tommy Prothro (1991) and Dennis Erickson (2019).
Hass, a Beaverton, Ore., native, was the winner of the 2005 Biletnikoff Award, which is given annually to the nation's top receiver. He set a then-Oregon State record with 1,532 receiving yards that season, which broke his previous mark of 1,379 set the prior year.
Hass was named a First-Team All-American over two different seasons. He was named an ESPN.com First-Team All-American in 2004 and 2005. He was also selected first team by the Associated Press and Walter Camp Football Foundation in 2005. In addition, Hass was named a third-teamer by the AP in 2004.
He is the only player in Oregon State history to post three 1,000-yard seasons, and still holds the program's career record with 3,924 receiving yards. He is fourth with 220 receptions.
Hass is also first with 19 career 100-yard efforts and tied for second with 20 receiving touchdowns. He holds the OSU single-game record with 293 yards against Boise State in 2004, and is tied for first in single-game receptions with 14 against Arizona State in 2004.
To be eligible for College Football Hall of Fame inductions, student-athletes must have been named a First-Team All-American at least once during their careers. They must also have finished their collegiate careers at least 10 seasons prior to being nominated. Current professional players are not eligible for consideration.
