Ison stared on both sides of the ball. As a linebacker, he got inside to make a tackle for a short gain. Then, he tracked down a runner from behind for a short gain. On offense, he took a pitch and used his speed to the corner for a big gain. Then, he took the option pitch, broke multiple tackles, and powered his way for twenty yards. Back on defense, he filled the hole and made a tackle for a short gain. Then, he got after the quarterback for a ten-yard sack. He got into the backfield again on a two-point conversion and completely blew up the running back. The junior then came off the edge to blow up an inside run for a short gain. Finally, coming off the edge again, he sealed the game with a strip sack on fourth down.

A Metro up-and-comer out of the resurgent 6A Eagan Wildcats, RB8 and the #73 overall 2025er Madden Ison Madden Ison 5'9" | 200 lbs | RB Eagan | 2025 State MN is seeing his hard work in the weight room pay off during the 2022 season. As a young buck playing varsity for Eagan, Ison was an exciting ball carrier thanks to how easily he can go from a dead stop to top speed, showing off great burst that flies by first and second level defenders and leaving defenders legs looking like they were bogged down in quicksand. He also put in work against non-varsity competition, and against both varsity and JV opponents his burst, overall speed, and affinity for contact took a lot of defenders by surprise and allowed him to create high-energy plays that most definitely got his teammates and sidelines fired up. Also a prolific kick returner in 2022. He’s got a great shot of climbing up the RB and overall rankings going forward. Keep grinding, Madden.
