One of my favorite RB performances from the day was Freedom’s rising 2028 RB Axzil Eggert Axzil Eggert 5'10" | 205 lbs | RB Freedom | 2028 State WI . He has the makings of a feature back, and proved in 2025 he could be utilized as one with his 140+ carries and 1,000+ rushing yards. The 5’10” 204 lbs soon-to-be junior RB pairs a strong, stout frame with game-changing athleticism. He ran a 4.59 40, 4.56 shuttle, 7.09 L-Drill, vertical jumped 30″ and broad jumped 8’10”. Eggert is a kid who can get you the tough yards on 3rd and short, and also break that carry loose for 75 yards to the house. This performance should be the launching pad to a big year for Eggert and his team. Make sure this kid is on your radars.

This is a fun RB to watch. The 5’11” 200 lbs sophomore is a compact RB, with a very low center of gravity. He piled up over 1,000 yards rushing on varsity in 2025, and that could be just the start of what he does the next two years. Axzil has built a thick, strong frame that can handle that wear and tear of a high workload. His ability to play through contact and keep gaining yards helps him wear down the defense and get stronger as the game goes on. Eggert is at his best between the tackles and does really well instantly reading, reacting, and avoiding defenders in tight quarters. Big things ahead for Eggert and the Freedom offense.

Stats: 21 Carries, 178 Yards, 4 Rush TDs, 2 Receptions, 24 Yards

The sophomore RB out of Freedom HS ran over, around, and through the Fox Valley Lutheran defense in Week 5. The 5’11” 200 lbs back left no doubt that he has the size, contact balance, power, and mentality to be able to handle a large workload while wearing down a defense and producing at a high level. Axzil has a special, innate, natural ability to get through contact. Whether it be with a stiff arm, or rolling with the punches and keeping his balance, or making tacklers miss with a juke or spin. The ’28 is quickly building and developing instincts that you don’t see often. He is a kid that defenses have to gang tackle and also make sure they have enough pursuit because Axzil has the quickness to make you miss 1 on 1 in the hole. I’m very excited to watch the underclassman continue to develop and put out film.
