Early life and high school

Herbig was born in Lihue, Hawaii and originally grew up in Kalaheo, Hawaii before moving from Kauai to Oahu after his freshman year of high school so that he could attend Saint Louis School in Honolulu.[1] He was named first team All-State as a senior. Herbig committed to play college football at Stanford after his junior year, but de-committed and re-opened his recruitment shortly after the end of his senior season.[2] He ultimately re-committed to Stanford after considering offers from California and Washington.[3]

College career
Herbig at Stanford

Herbig played three seasons for the Stanford Cardinal.[4] He played in all 13 of Stanford's games with six starts at left guard and was named a freshman All-American by ESPN.[5] He moved to right guard as a sophomore, making 13 starts and was named first team All-Pac-12 Conference.

Herbig was named second team All-Pac-12 as a junior after making six starts at right guard and one start at right tackle while missing six games due to injury.[6] Following his Junior season, Herbig announced that he would forgo his final year of college to declare for the 2019 NFL Draft.[7]

Professional career

Although initially projected to be a mid-round pick, Herbig's draft stock fell significantly after a poor performance at the NFL Scouting Combine that included a 40-yard dash time of 5.41 seconds, the slowest run of all 260 participants.[8] He ultimately went unselected in the 2019 NFL Draft. Herbig signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent on April 28, 2019.[9][10] Herbig made his NFL debut on December 15, 2019 against the Washington Redskins.[11] Herbig played in two games in his rookie season.[12]

Herbig made his first career start on September 13, 2020 in the Eagles' season opener against the Washington Football Team.[13]

Personal

Herbig's father, Bruce, played football and basketball at Lewis & Clark College and his grandfather played football at Wheaton College in Illinois. His younger brother Nick plays linebacker at Wisconsin.[14][15]
