Transcription
Early life and high school career
Hausmann was born in Uganda in 2003.[1] His parents, Olive and Paul, were poor and had between 12 and 15 children. They decided to allow an American couple, Robert and Teresa Hausmann, to adopt Ernest. After a two-year adoption and immigration process, Ernest joined the Hausmanns in Nebraska at age five in 2008.[2]
Hausmann grew up in Columbus, Nebraska, and attended Columbus High School. He played football on both offense, as a wide receiver, and on defense as a cornerback and linebacker. As a senior, he tallied 80 tackles and had 600 yards receiving with nine touchdowns.[1] Hausmann was rated as a four star recruit, #294 overall, and the second best player in Nebraska by On3.[3]
College career
Nebraska
Hausmann received a scholarship offer from Nebraska in November 2020.[4][1] He signed his commitment to Nebraska in December 2021.[5]
Hausmann enrolled early at the University of Nebraska in January 2022 and received significant playing time as a true freshman for the team.[6] He appeared in every game for Nebraska, including seven games as a starter. Against Michigan on November 12, he registered 10 tackles and his first college sack to push the Wolverines out of field goal range in the third quarter.[7][8] The following week, on November 19, he had a career-high 12 tackles against Wisconsin.[9] After the 2022 season, Hausmann entered the NCAA transfer portal where he was rated by 247Sports as the top player in the portal.[10]
Michigan
In late December 2022, Hausmann transferred to the University of Michigan.[11][12] In his first season with the Wolverines, Hausmann appeared in all 15 games and won a national championship. Hausmann finished third on the team in tackles with 46, contributing at linebacker and on special teams.[13] Hausmann earned Defensive Player of the Week in the Big Ten Championship game versus Iowa, after an 8 tackle performance.
