This is exactly why I advocate for having an area kid on the QB roster depth chart IF you can recruit one as a developmental guy. Maybe that guy comes via transfer or maybe he’s a high schooler but I believe having a guy on the roster who has been in the house for a couple of years provides continuity. Maybe we can get a talented 4 star to stick around for 3 years without playing, but I doubt it.'Grandad' Jalyn Gramstad Filling Key Role for Nebraska Football | Hurrdat Sports
Jalyn Gramstad is “Grandad” to his Nebraska teammates.
That’s the main reason he came. Rhule Holgerson etc.. can open more doors for him than Northwestern of Iowa ever could have.
Gramstad is an able back-up and I doubt you'll see any of the freshman play this year, it's a learning year. I believe we have a player to back-up Raiola and Gramstad other than those freshman and he would only be used if both Raiola and Gramstad went down and that player is Haarberg. I know Haarberg has not been talked about much other than playing TE but I believe he is our wildcat and emergency QB and that makes me feel much better about our QB room. jmo
With his juco years he could be here for like 4 more years can't he?
You got to love Dylan for talking Gramstad into staying another year, it shows Dylan really wants this team to win or else he would care less who is behind him at QB. Gramstad is not Raiola, not even close but he is a smart player who can run the Nebraska offense and Holgorsen loves the kid. I look forward to him getting some playing time this year and showing what he is capable of doing.
I think he was on the roster, but frankly we just need to go with 4 QBs since we have a 105 limit now. Bunch of people going to be moved on after spring ball.
I’ll be surprised if we don’t carry 5 QBs. Other positions have some flexibility where you can move guys around in the event of injuries. QB not so much and you need 2 scout team QBs probably.
Why carry that 5th QB that won’t get a rep when we still have HH on the roster?
HH is still way better than any 5th string QB that we’d have
I seriously doubt teams will carry 5 with the 105 limit. The 105 is not the scholarships limit or a suggestion it’s set in stone.
I couldn't agree more, I know many have scoffed at the idea that Haarberg would ever play QB again if an emergency arose but fact is he knows more of the offense than those freshmen on the roster. To me, 2025 the depth chart to start the year at QB would have Haarberg as number three even though he's not listed as a QB.
You have two QB's on the roster who know the offense inside and out and a TE who knows a lot of it and freshmen QB's who are trying to understand it. Like it or not if those freshmen had to play you can all but say good night to the 2025 season, they just aren't ready to play teams in the BIG. Those freshmen will be ready for the 2026 season but not this year.
If he is still around he hasn't played a single game since coming from Iowa Western CC in 2022. If he is still around he is an extreme emergency only QB. Haarberg would be the better emergency QB.

You have to have scout team QBs and HH is not practicing as a QB anymore.
