Tasker was named a third-team Football Championship Subdivision All-American by Beyond Sports Network in 2012 after ending his career with 2,482 receiving yards, second on Cornell's career list and 13th best all-time in Ivy history. Tasker had a pair of 200-yard games as a senior, including 10 catches for 201 yards and two touchdowns in the win over Princeton. He was even better against Monmouth, setting a Cornell single-game record with 280 receiving yards on 11 catches with one touchdown. He was a unanimous first-team All-Ivy League pick in his final season, hauling in 75 passes for a school single-season record 1,207 yards and eight touchdowns. Tasker's yardage mark ranked sixth in Ivy history and he ranked among the national leaders in receptions per game (ninth, 7.5), receiving yards per game (fourth, 120.7) and all-purpose yardage per game (34th, 127.2). Tasker's totals led the Ancient Eight in both receptions and receiving yards per game. After signing with the San Diego Charges of the NFL as an undrafted free agent, he went to the Canadian Football League and was a four-time CFL All-Star with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He piled up 455 receptions for 5,734 yards and 35 touchdowns in 88 career games, leading the CFL in yards (1,167) in 2017 and touchdowns (11) in 2018.
