Albert Lea is certainly on the up-and-up, coming off their best football season since the late 1980s and transitioning that success to the wrestling mat, where the Tigers are perennial state contenders. 2027 QB/RB hybrid Brecken Wacholz Brecken Wacholz 6'1" | 165 lbs | QB Albert Lea | 2027 State MN was arguably the 2025 campaign’s most dynamic and productive figurehead, leading the Tigers on the ground with 75 rushes for 578 yards and 7 TDs to go along with 25 completions on 43 attempts (58%) for 324 yards and 6 TDs to 2 INTs through the air, PLUS 64 tackles and 7 TFLs on the defensive side of the ball. Someone is more than due for a rankings bump and then some, it seems. To sweeten the pot and Wacholz’s budding recruiting resume, Wacholz is currently ranked 7th at 172AAA and is a 2025 Fargo Junior All-American, placing 8th at 190 in Greco-Roman this past July, bringing some serious momentum from 2025 into the 2026 sectional and state tournament.

Sadly, the versatile, experienced, and electric multi-sporter Wacholz doesn’t have any updated tape from the 2025 season, which breaks the heart of PRZMN, so I hope someone tells the Albert Lea product to update his Hudl account soon! The multi-sport talent is too good to go unwatched!
