Senior RB Nathan Axmann Nathan Axmann 6'0" | 190 lbs | RB Waverly | 2026 State NE looked sharp in the Vikings’ season opener win over Bennington. In a gritty battle featuring two Class B contenders, Nathan’s efforts made the difference as he carried the ball 38 times for 258 yards and two touchdowns. Axmann seemed nearly impossible to corral on Friday night, especially with his ability to find outside running lanes and the burst to break free for big runs. He is a patient runner who allows his blocks to set up in front of him as he identifies open lanes. He’s a strong runner who is unfazed by arm tackle attempts and has a balanced base to stay upright as he absorbs contact. Nathan has enough twitch to make defenders whiff on tackles and is surprisingly shifty in tight spaces for a bigger back at 6’0″, 190 pounds. Nathan opened up the season with a big game and an offer from Morningside… good momentum for what should be a monster season!
