First up, we have a running back out of Waunakee who is going to put up some strong numbers this fall. Eli Drangstveit is a 6′ 200 lbs athlete who already put up 800+ rushing yards in 2025. This year it looks like he is going to be in position to handle even more work. You watch his tape from 2025 and you instantly see that he verifies his three down talent. From running decisively and physicality, to catching passes out of the backfield, and then throwing a devastating block. Eli can effect the game in every way that an RB can while also having the size, contact balance, and athleticism necessary to move the ball between the tackles or in space. I’m looking for Eli to break that 1K threshold and in the process earn several more offers. He currently holds an offer from UW- Eau Claire. Check out his tape for a sense of what is to come.

Another 2027 RB from the Madison area who is ready for a massive year is Eli Drangstveit Eli Drangstveit 6'0" | 200 lbs | RB Waunakee | 2027 State WI . The junior is coming off a season where he put up 853 yards and 10 TDs while helping the Warriors advance to Level 4 of the playoffs. Eli’s 6′ 200 lbs frame is built for a large workload. It can handle the beating of the position while also giving out plenty of contact too. Eli is so well rounded too. Inside/outside versatility as a runner. Some success as a receiver. Plus he has the vision, speed, and patience to return kicks. Eli is going to have a big year for Waunakee. Don’t miss out on the RB that is certain to be a riser over this year.
