Brainerd High School graduate and North Dakota State University All-American offensive tackle was drafted 155th overall by the Indianapolis Colts Saturday in the NFL Draft.
Haeg had positioned himself to be drafted after a stellar career at NDSU which won four FCS national titles during his 4-year tenure as a starter. He was named to 10 All-America teams, was a finalist for the 2015 STATS FCS Offensive Player of the Year (he finished 13th), was the College Sporting News Offensive Lineman of the Year twice, was a two-time All-Missouri Valley Football Conference first-team selection, and was named MVFC Offensive Lineman of the Week five times.
In January, he was selected to play in the Senior Bowl but sat out with a shoulder injury.
According to nfl.com, Haeg turned in the top performance by an offensive tackle at the NFL Combine Feb. 23-29 in broad jump, 3-cone drill and shuttle run. Other tests included 40-yard dash, bench press and vertical jump.
