ESPN - Wegher seeks respect and recognition - Insider

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.

This kid has "I'm staying in the midwest" all over him. Might have been very impressed with PSU when he visited. If he visits again, then I think we have a chance.

[wadc45]

I kinda got the impression that PSU was the leader out of the gates...has that changed since more offers have poured in? I thought this kid might pull the trigger during his unofficial visit...

From the Mizzou site...ND, Arkansas, Oregon and Missouri are all talking about offering. Arizona, Wisconsin and Cal have also been in touch recently. Talks about his contact with the Missouri staff.

[AustinScottistheone]

I'm not sure if anything has changed or not, or if we were ever out in front but he spoke quite highly of his visit...and his dad said while he was trying to sell Brandon to Penn State he came to the realization that Joe was already trying to sell Brandon on Penn State. Kind of odd how kids have their own recruiting websites and such...
