Harper Murray and Heinrich Haarberg? Oh, they’re serving major couple goals, no doubt! Flashback to September 2024—Harper was seen wearing the number 10 jersey, but not for her own game, but to support her man as Nebraska faced off Illinois. Wearing a Cornhuskers red outfit, she came with all the positive energy, including a pre-game hug to Heinrich before the match. The Michigan native was keen on making sure she documented the moment, and she later took cute pictures with her quarterback boyfriend.

And let’s face it–Heinrich was grinning from ear to ear with his biggest fan in the box. A touchdown of love, indeed! But hey, just when we could not get any more adorable, Heinrich went on to do it again and and, melted hearts all over again! On Harper’s special day, the 21-year-old quarterback took to the social media to pen a lovely birthday message for her, which made fans to fall in love with the two all over again.

Heinrich Haarberg took to Instagram Stories on February 24 to drop the sweetest birthday shoutout for Harper Murray as she hit the big 2-0! He shared an adorable pic where Harper was leaning on his shoulder, while he flashed a big ol’ smile and wrapped his arm around her waist—total couple goals, right? And just to make hearts melt even more, he captioned it, “@harpermurrayy 20! Blessed to have you in my life.” Now that’s how you do a birthday post!

However, Harper Murray’s Nebraska Huskers fam did not fail to ensure that she was the queen of the day. Andy Jackson hyped up the celebration and posted a picture of them posing with the Big Ten Championship trophy with the caption, “It’s @harpermurray day!!! 20! 20! 20!” Meanwhile, new Husker recruit Keri Leimbach dropped an adorable pic of them hugging, writing, “Happy 20th. Love you so much. Have the best birthday ever.”

The love, however, did not end there; Maddy Unger of the Husker Scarlets dance team also showered her with compliments saying that Harper is a light in so many people’s lives. “Another happy birthday to you, pretty girl! @harpermurray I’m lucky to know you and call you a friend. You’re such a light in so many people’s lives. Love you lots.” But let’s be real, nothing beats the love she got from her man, Heinrich Haarberg.

Harper Murray and her boyfriend!

The Huskers faithful got their first glimpse of this power couple when Harper Murray popped up at a football game, setting the stage for a love story that had fans buzzing. However, things began to hot up in the month of November when Nebraska lost a crucial game at home to Maryland. However, the Big Red was in trouble, and that was not the only heartache—Heinrich Haarberg got a nasty ankle shot that knocked him out of the game. Although the game was a letdown, fans found some solace in Harper and Heinrich’s budding romance thanks to the former’s social media updates.

And let’s not forget, Harper isn’t just about sweet moments—she’s got a playful side too, always ready to bring some extra fun into the mix. In Lincoln, these two have gained some good reputation through their performances in the field and court. Murray contributed to the volleyball team to win the Big Ten Conference title, while Haarberg, who had to play with an ankle injury, played in eight games and had a 5-3 record for the football team. Still, there is one thing that Haarberg has not witnessed—92,003 people in the stadium clapping for him.

Murray, on the other hand, has already lived that dream, and you better believe she doesn’t let Haarberg forget it. In her fourth collegiate match on the 30 August 2023, Nebraska volleyball broke the record of the attendance by having 92,003 spectators at the Memorial Stadium, which has been the largest crowd for the women’s college sporting event. The kicker? It even surpassed the record of Nebraska football that had 91,585 people in attendance in a game in 2014. Since then, Murray has been jokingly provoking Haarberg into the fact that her team attracts more people than his. That’s just how these two roll—part power couple, part friendly rivals, and 100% adorable.
