If it wasn’t Egeland making things happen for the Cubs, it was Austin Waldera Austin Waldera 6'0" | 200 lbs | LB Nevada | 2026 State IA . The leading rusher and tackler for Nevada on Saturday, Waldera is the straw that stirs the drink on his football team.

The 6-foot, 200-pound prospect took carry after carry, delivering and taking a beating on the ground, but popping back up and doing it all over again a play later. Finishing with 36 rushing attempts for 233 yards and a touchdown on offense, Wadera added 11 tackles defensively, including three TFLs and a sack.

A patient runner that will let his blocks get set up before taking off, he’ll bring the pain to any would-be tackler who tries to bring him down, too. Waldera is a football player through-and-through, and he sets the tone for what the Cubs do on both sides of the ball.
