Dwayne Hakins, Steelers quarterback and Ohio State standout, dies at 24

Agent Cedric Saunders said that Haskins was in South Florida to train with Steelers teammates. On May 3, he would have been 25 years old.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin released a statement saying that he was devastated by Dwayne’s passing. He quickly became part of our Steelers family after his arrival in Pittsburgh. He was also one of our hardest workers on the field as well as in our community. Dwayne was an outstanding teammate and a wonderful friend to many. It is truly a terrible loss. We are thinking of Kalabrya and all his family during this time.

Before the NFL Haskins was an Ohio State signal-caller who set many records. He won Big Ten and school titles for passing yards and touchdowns in 2018. He threw for 4,831 yards, 50 touchdowns, and led the Buckeyes to a Big Ten title and victory in the Rose Bowl. Haskins was also awarded MVP honors.
