Hauck is the son of a former Big Timber high school coach. Originally, he signed with the University of Portland where he was all-conference. Then, he transferred to the University of Montana where he became defensive MVP for the Big Sky conference. After his senior year at Montana, he went undrafted, but claimed to have received 10 offers following the draft. He signed with the New England Patriots where he made the roster and spent one season.[2]

Hauck had a long and fairly successful NFL playing career. In 1999 with the Philadelphia Eagles, Hauck replaced Mike Zordich as the starting strong-side safety, forming a tandem with Brian Dawkins. In 2000, Hauck was replaced by Damon Moore, but he remained with the Eagles as a reserve safety until the end of the 2001 season.
