Haener played college football for the Fresno State Bulldogs. He transferred to Fresno State from the University of Washington, where he initially began his collegiate career.
During his time at Fresno State, Haener emerged as a key player for the Bulldogs. In the 2020 season, he started in all six games, throwing for 2,021 yards, 14 touchdowns, and five interceptions. He also displayed his versatility by rushing for 204 yards and four touchdowns. His impressive performances earned him recognition as the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year for the 2020 season.
Haener earned national prominence in 2021, when he threw for 4,096 yards, 33 touchdowns, and 9 interceptions for the Bulldogs while maintaining a 67.1% completion rate. In 2022, despite injuries, he threw for 2,896 yards and 20 touchdowns with only three interceptions while completing 72% of his passes.
With the 127th overall pick, New Orleans moved up to get Haener out of Fresno State. He is the Saints’ highest-drafted quarterback since Garrett Grayson was selected in the third round in 2015.
