Versatile, veteran Nebraska linebacker with NFL-caliber instincts and high-motor toughness
Chris Kolarevic’s Nebraska profile is the classic “steady glue guy” story: a transfer who brought production, versatility, and veteran poise, then earned a reputation for playing multiple linebacker/nickel roles and handling the dirty work without blinking. In his 2021 Nebraska season, he played every game and totaled 27 tackles with 1.0 tackle for loss, and Nebraska notes also highlighted his role as a valuable inside linebacker/nickel piece with strong athletic testing. The big sell: intelligent, physical, assignment-sound, and trusted in multiple spots—less flash, more reliability, which coaches love.
