Navy offensive coordinator Ivin Jasper’s availability for Saturday’s Army-Navy game is in question after a possible issue arose involving his son’s ongoing medical situation.
Jarren Jasper, who is awaiting a heart transplant, had a regularly scheduled appointment Wednesday and doctors apparently discovered something of concern. The 14-year-old remained at the hospital into the night and Ivin Jasper missed Navy football practice Wednesday afternoon.
Jarren Jasper spent two months at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., and that is where he went for Wednesday’s appointment. Contacted early Thursday morning, Navy athletics spokesman Scott Strasemeier stated that Wednesday’s hospital stay was due to a potential complication.
