Bio
PERSONAL — Born Brent Richard Haberly on March 22, 1984 in Roseburg, Ore. Parents: Rick and Sue Haberly. Family: One brother. High School (Coach): Cottage Grove (Bob Heckman) 2002. Major: Sociology. Redshirt: 2002.
HIGH SCHOOL — Earned first-team all-Sky-Em League running back and linebacker honors as a senior and first-team all-conference accolades on offense his junior campaign. Garnered third-team all-state (The Oregonian) for defensive play his senior season as team’s player of the year.
OREGON — Evolved from the underdog to team leader in a span of only one year, with the former walk-on defying all the odds to develop into a 12-game starter. Certainly not the biggest, strongest or fastest linebacker but few players in college football may have an understanding of the game to the extent of this self-made player. Began the 2005 spring atop the depth chart at Mike linebacker due in large part because he had been in the program the longest, yet the skeptics had not counted on him to start the season opener. Provides tremendous leadership on and off the field and refuses to be outworked. Provides the flexibility of being able to play any one of three linebacker positions. Maintains ability to not only carry out his own assignments but puts his teammates in position to make plays. The lone concern is that an off-season ankle/foot injury prevented from participating in winter conditioning workouts or any of spring drills. Not only did his absence prevent his physical improvement, the hope persists that he will in condition to tackle the fall at the pace he left off last year. Remained involved in the spring by helping tutor less experienced linebacker candidates. Must be in great shape and at full strength for the start of fall practice to compensate for teammates’ superior athleticism.
2005 — With the odds not necessarily in his favor, he not only survived but thrived at a position that is key for the success of the entire defense. So great was his improvement that he was chosen the recipient of the Clarke Trophy as the team’s most improved player. Starting the first four games of the year at Mike linebacker, his contributions and recognition of the oppositions’ defense were so valuable, he was shifted to Will linebacker when teammates’ injuries necessitated his move. Squad’s fifth-leading tackler posted a single-game best nine stops in the regular-season finale vs. Oregon State, and added five tackles vs. Oklahoma in post-season play. Yet no moment shone any brighter than his play at Arizona as he not only recorded a trio of tackles for losses of 10 yards but scooped up a fumble and ran 34 yards for the winning score. For his efforts, was named program’s Defensive Player of the Game.
2004 — Posted three tackles in five appearances primarily as a special teams reserve, recording two tackles vs. Idaho and a third against Arizona. Was credited with one stop from the line of scrimmage in 16 snaps against the Vandals.
2003 — Stepped onto the field against Arizona and Minnesota, posting lone tackle of the year in the post-season vs. the Gophers. Cited as team’s scout team defensive player of the week in aiding preparations prior to Nevada game.
