The Philadelphia native is ranked as the No. 26 prospect in Pennsylvania and No. 75 defensive lineman, per the 247Sports Composite rankings. Haskell finished his junior season with 32 tackles and 5.5 sacks, helping pave the way to an 11-2 record and Pennsylvania 6A state championship for St. Joseph’s Prep.
