Brandon Wegher, 5-foot-11, 190 pounds
ESPN 150 Watch List running back
Heeland Catholic (Sioux City, Iowa)

Brandon Wegher rushed for 2,334 yards and scored 34 touchdowns his junior year at Heelan Catholic, but he still has a chip on his shoulder.

"I want to be a good 'known' white running back," he said.

It's a stigma that's whispered about in certain circles. Combined with Wegher's hailing from Sioux City, Iowa, not exactly a recruiting hotbed, he says he's had to fight and scrap for respect.

Since his junior film started making the rounds with college coaches in February, his popularity has slowly begun to rise. Wegher has seen his offers increase from those at the mid-major level like San Diego State, one of the few that knew about him early, to programs like Auburn and a host of teams from the Big Ten and Big 12.

If he even comes close to his senior goals this fall, respect will come in droves.

"I want to rush for 3,000 yards and win a state title," said Wegher.
