A Massachusetts native, linebacker Nick Haag played his college ball at Assumption College before brief stints with the Indianapolis Colts and New York Giants.

In the Pirates’ inaugural season, Haag was named Second-Team All-NAL for his efforts.

Haag is happy to be back in his home state of Massachusetts to be able to play in front of his family and friends.

“Anytime you get to play at home, it is a dream come true,” Haag told masspiratesfootball.com.
