Nebraska felt it had already recruited the top QB prospect in the state, Heinrich Haarberg (6'5" 200) from Kearney NE (Catholic). 3 star, 5th ranked prospect in Nebraska, 14 offers https://247sports.com/Player/Heinric...school-246602/
Can’t blame Cole Payton if he thought the Cornhuskers would treylance him and recruit him on defense……iirc that is what they were doing - good LB prospect also . He was a 2 star, 14th ranked prospect in Nebraska, 6 offers. (Although that early May commit to NDSU might have slowed down offers & stars plus Nebraska and Iowa State never got added even though Bison fans may know those stories……) https://247sports.com/player/cole-payton-46100074/
So just as Bison fans might check on Cole Payton/Trey Feeney once in a while, Husker fans can check on Heinrich Haarberg/Cole Payton once in a while……
