TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State football head coach
Curt Mallory announced the addition of
Joe Hastings to his coaching staff Tuesday. Hastings comes to Terre Haute after three seasons at Michigan and will take over the reigns as the team's wide receivers coach.
"Joe's hard work as a player speaks for its self. He had an outstanding college career and went on to play four years of professional football as an undrafted free agent," Mallory said of Hastings. "He comes highly recommended and we are very excited to have him as a part of our Sycamore family."
Hastings completed his third season with Michigan in 2017 as the team's wide receivers coach and offensive assistant. He was responsible for receiver scouting reports, film breakdown, in-game substitutions, position group recruiting and practice drills.
He spent his first two seasons in Ann Arbor as a defensive graduate assistant coach for the Wolverines, working with the defensive line. Hastings spent the 2014 season as a pro personnel assistant for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Hastings played in the NFL for three seasons (2011-13) as a wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers and Miami Dolphins and the UFL for one season with the Sacramento Lions.
Hastings was a four-year letterman and two-year starter at wide receiver for Washburn College (2005-09). He appeared in 23 games with two starts, collecting 32 receptions for 487 yards and two touchdowns during his career.
Hastings earned his bachelor's degree in marketing from Washburn and his master's degree in sports administration from Michigan.
