Rankings Jump: #102 to #87rnEau Claire has a good one coming to town in RB Demetrius Bergmann Demetrius Bergmann 6'0" | 185 lbs | RB Pepin/Alma | 2024 State WI . The 6′ 185 lbs back has a tone setting style of play. He is a one cut back who has no hesitation when he needs to lower the shoulder or stiff arm a defender to the ground. He fights through contact with a strong leg drive and absorbs hits well without losing balance. I am excited to see him bring that power running to the WIAC.

This is not the first time that the Pepin/Alma RB has come into a camp and caught my eyes. Demetrius did it again with his elite testing numbers. He showed up at 6′ 180 lbs, jumped 9’5″ and 34.9″ in the broad and vertical, and tore up the L Drill and pro agility with times of 6.6 and 4.26 respectively. All numbers similar to his times back in May when he was first at UW River Falls and earned an offer. It was great to see these numbers re-verified because the tape shows an athlete who flies around the field and is able to dominate in tight quarters. Expect him to rise up the rankings and have a dominant senior season.

A WI native who dominated the testing portion of the UW- River Falls camp was the Pepin/Alma junior RB Demetrius Bergmann Demetrius Bergmann 6'0" | 185 lbs | RB Pepin/Alma | 2024 State WI . He posted a 4.62 40, 9’5.5″ broad jump, almost a 35″ vertical, and a 4.08 pro agility test. All great times that illustrated how he was able to put up such big numbers in Fall 2022. On tape, the 6′ 182 lbs junior was all over the field. He dominated from the FB and LB positions, and could play either LB or RB at the next level. On defense, all that athleticism gives Demetrius sideline to sideline range. He has a high motor, so if the whistle hasn’t blown you can expect he to be in pursuit. On offense, Bergmann is used as a north-south, one cut runner. That allows him to attack downhill with that speed. He also has impressive power that you don’t get to see at camp. Check him out below.
