College
Hernandez played college soccer at Seton Hall University from 2001 to 2004, and captained the team in his final two seasons.
Club career
MetroStars
Hernandez was selected by the MetroStars in the first round of the 2005 MLS Supplemental Draft and signed a developmental contract with the team for the 2005 season.

In his initial campaign with Chivas, Hernandez went on to appear in 29 league matches, including 24 starts. During the 2007 season Hernandez saw his role reduced as he appeared in 21 league matches, starting only nine. He started three of the clubs four playoff matches during his two-year stint at the Los Angeles based club.
San Jose Earthquakes
Hernandez was picked up by the San Jose Earthquakes in the 2007 MLS Expansion Draft.
New York City
Hernandez was selected by New York City FC in the 2014 MLS Expansion Draft. After the signing of Italian legend Andrea Pirlo in July 2015, Hernandez changed his number from 21 to 2 to honor his boyhood idol, New York Yankees legendary shortstop Derek Jeter.
International
On January 6, 2009 Jason was called into the U.S. Men's National Team's January training camp. He joined Colorado Rapids (MLS) defender Ugo Ihemelu as replacements for Clarence Goodson and Cory Gibbs who left camp early,[1] but he ultimately did not feature in the game. However, he's elegible to play for the Puerto Rico National Football Team and he will make his debut on March 29 when against Guyana on the 2017 Caribbean Cup qualification first round.
