The 6-foot-8 forward announced his commitment to Ole Miss after three seasons at Saint Joseph’s, where he steadily developed into a key contributor. Haskins will arrive with two years of eligibility remaining and a skill set that fits the modern, positionless style Beard has prioritized.

A native of Willingboro, New Jersey, Haskins came up through Camden High School, playing alongside high-profile talents like D.J. Wagner and Aaron Bradshaw. Even in that star-studded environment, he carved out a reputation as a physical, high-motor player who impacts the game in multiple ways.

After redshirting his first season at Saint Joseph’s, Haskins began to find his footing during the 2024-25 campaign. He appeared in all 35 games, making five starts, and averaged 5.7 points and 3.3 rebounds per contest while helping the Hawks earn a berth in the National Invitation Tournament. His early impact earned him a spot on the Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team.

But it was this past season where Haskins took a noticeable leap.

Elevated into a full-time starting role, he averaged 11.1 points and a team-best 6.4 rebounds per game, emerging as one of the driving forces behind a Saint Joseph’s squad that surged late in the year, winning 13 of its final 16 regular-season games. His production, combined with his defensive versatility and rebounding presence, made him one of the more intriguing forwards to enter the portal this cycle.

For Ole Miss, the addition checks multiple boxes.

Haskins brings size, length, and physicality to the frontcourt, along with the ability to defend multiple positions and contribute on the glass—traits that are critical in the SEC. Offensively, his continued development as a scorer and his comfort playing within a team structure make him a strong fit in Beard’s system.

With roster turnover an annual reality in today’s transfer portal era, Beard has emphasized adding experienced, battle-tested players who can step in and contribute right away. Haskins fits that mold, having already proven he can produce at the college level while continuing to grow his game.

As Ole Miss looks to build momentum heading into the new season, Haskins’ arrival gives the Rebels another piece with upside—and another player capable of making an immediate impact in the SEC.
