 Chris Kolarevic, Nebraska, Player News


  Among Nebraska's transfer portal additions for the 2021 class, veteran offensive skill players Samori Toure and Markese Stepp and former five-star prospect and Ohio State defensive back Tyreke Johnson drew significant attention when their commitments happened. Kolarevic's late-October pledge flew a little bit under the radar in comparison, but his role in 2021 likely will not take a backseat to any of the others. The 6-foot-1, 235-pound linebacker wowed in performance and strength index testing over the winter, then looked like he was pushing for regular playing time even before senior inside linebacker Will Honas was lost to a torn ACL in late April that could sideline him for the entire regular season.

Now Kolarevic looks like a likely starter and at the very least, he's in line to play a lot in a regular three-man rotation alongside sophomore Luke Reimer and redshirt freshman Nick Henrich. "He's a freak of nature, I'll tell you that," Henrich said in mid-April. "Super athletic, fast, physical. … He's also been just outstanding learning the defense and asking us questions. He's been a great addition to the room." Kolarevic was one of the most productive defenders in the Missouri Valley Conference when he was healthy his final two seasons at FCS Northern Iowa, compiling 65 tackles (three for loss) in six games before a foot injury in 2018, then 79 (6.5 for loss) in 10 games after returning from the same injury in 2019. - Lincoln Journal Star

  Like a lot of Nebraska football fans, Chris Kolarevic watched the Huskers' 2020 season on television from his couch. The main difference, of course, is that the graduate transfer linebacker from Northern Iowa kept closest watch of Barrett Ruud's inside linebackers group, knowing that he'd be joining them in a few short months. When Kolarevic verbally committed in late October, he did not know that Will Honas would opt to return for a sixth season after a solid 2020. He had not yet seen Luke Reimer make the jump into being an impact player or Nick Henrich finish strong down the stretch by tallying 21 tackles over the season's final two weeks. "I wasn't able to take a visit, which was tough because of COVID, but I was glad I got to watch them on TV. It was cool watching those guys play," Kolarevic said Monday.

"They do a lot of different things than I did at UNI, so it was good to just kind of see how their defense worked and how they run around. They were flying around last year and did a good job, so it was fun to watch those guys play. Since arriving on campus, though, Kolarevic said he's blended in well with the group and that he's excited about the unit's potential going forward. Oh, and those guys he watched on television have pretty darned good things to say about him, too. "He's a freak of nature, I'll tell you that," Henrich said Monday. "Super athletic, fast, physical. … He's also been just outstanding learning the defense and asking us questions. He's been a great addition to the room." - Lincoln Journal Star
