Huskers land UNI graduate transfer linebacker Chris Kolarevic | Recruiting



Nebraska added a recruit in a unique situation on Friday evening. 

Northern Iowa graduate transfer linebacker Chris Kolarevic verbally committed to the Cornhuskers after first entering the NCAA’s transfer portal about 10 days ago. 

Kolarevic was listed at 6-foot-1 and 230 pounds at UNI and figured to be a central part of the Panthers’ defense before most of the Football Championship Subdivision level was shut down. 

Kolarevic announced his commitment via Twitter and added that he intends to graduate from UNI in December and then be immediately eligible. Given the eligibility freeze instituted by the NCAA this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, Kolarevic should have two years remaining beginning in 2021. 

Kolarevic started six games in 2018 and recorded 65 (three for loss) and a sack before a right foot injury ended his season. In fact, it kept him out nearly a calendar year before he was finally able to return to action about a month into the 2019 season. 

In 10 games the rest of the way, he recorded 79 tackles (6.5 for loss) a pair of sacks and an interception for UNI. 

This story will be updated.
