KGFW Sports – Huskers Make Offer to Haarberg

The Nebraska football team has offered a scholarship to Kearney Catholic quarterback Heinrich Haarberg. A three-star 2021 prospect according to 247Sports, Haarberg is the 16th ranked dual-threat quarterback in the nation. At 6-foot-5, and 195-pounds, Haarberg ran in the 4.6-second range in the 40-yard dash at a camp over the summer and has a 36-inch vertical jump. He threw for nearly 1,900 yards and 23 touchdowns as a junior and also ran for 458 (5.5 per carry) and four more scores. He previously had one other Power Five offer from Boston College, plus FBS offers from Buffalo, Central Michigan, Northern Illinois, Old Dominion, Ohio, UMass and Wyoming. Nebraska hasn’t offered an in-state quarterback since Millard South’s Bronson Marsh in 2010. Marsh was offered by NU as an athlete and began his career at safety. He transferred to UNK and started two seasons at quarterback. The last in-state signal caller Nebraska offered as a quarterback was Papillion’s Allan Everidge, who committed to NU but later flipped to Kansas State after the dismissal of Frank Solich in 2003. The last two in-state players to sign with Nebraska as a quarterback: Mike McLaughlin (2001) and Eric Crouch (1997).
