Herkie in 1982, also carried the ball on nine rushes for 146 yards, an average of 16.2 yards per carry, and returned six kickoffs for 154 yards, an average of 25.7 yards per return, for the SWC runner-up Longhorns, who posted a 9–2 record. He was drafted in 1983 by the Houston Oilers and played three seasons for the NFL team. As an Oiler, he caught 31 passes for 567 yards and two touchdowns and returned 36 kicks for 633 yards. While at Garland High School, Herkie was an option quarterback and as a senior led the Owls through an undefeated regular season to a bi-district championship, gaining 1,346 yards rushing in 12 games. Also an outstanding sprinter, Herkie as a sophomore ran on the Garland sprint relay team which won the State championship with a 41.0 time. As a junior he won the district 100-yard dash in 9.6 and the 220 in 22.1. In the District 10-AAAA meet as a senior, he repeated his three victories, winning the 100 in 9.45, the 220 in 21.76, and anchoring the winning sprint relay, plus he added the long jump title. Herkie also won the high school 100 meters in a record time of 10.42 at the Texas Relays as a senior. Competing later in track for the Longhorns, Herkie won third place in the SWC meet 200 meters in both 1981 and 1982 and was sixth in the 100 meters in 1982.
