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 regular scheduled appointment on 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 on Wednesday afternoon.
Jarren Jasper spent two months at Children’s National Medical Center in D.C. and it is believed that is where he went for Wednesday’s appointment. Navy athletics spokesman Scott Strasemeier had no update on Jarren Jasper’s condition, stating only that Wednesday’s hospital stay was due to a potential complication.
