Early-enrollee DB Max Haertel brings ball skills, toughness, and special-teams upside to Georgia Southern
In the 2025 season, Max Haertel arrived at Georgia Southern as an early enrollee with a reputation for production and versatility, coming off a high school career with eight interceptions, five pick-sixes, and two first-team all-region cornerback honors. He also ran track and held school records in the 4x100 and 4x200, which hints at real burst and competitive edge. At 5-11, 200, he profiles as a physical defensive back with strong instincts and playmaking flair — a useful fit if you want speed, attitude, and a guy who seems to enjoy making offenses uncomfortable.
