"Next chapter," Hausmann wrote on a Twitter post, with the lyrics to "Hail to the Victors" as well as the word "COMMITTED" plastered across the picture.
The 6-foot-2, 220-pound linebacker started seven games as a true freshman for the Cornhuskers in 2022. He appeared in 10 games, recording 54 tackles (36 solo) with one sack (against Michigan) and one fumble recovery.
He set a career-high with 10 tackles against the Wolverines, before topping it the following week with 12 against Wisconsin. According to Pro Football Focus, Hausman was tied for eighth in tackles among all Power Five freshmen.
Hausmann committed to Scott Frost's staff in March 2021. Frost was fired after a Week 3 loss to Georgia Southern earlier this season.
The Wolverines also got a commitment from Arizona State transfer OL Ladarius Henderson, a former four-star prospect, last week.
