<DIV =msg>6'2 190 pound JR runningbackJoe Schobert tore it up in the D1 Wisconsin playoffs this year!! He is the biggest reason Waukesha West came home with the state title! In the state game he broke currentWisconsin RB John Clay's state single game rushing record. Schobert ran the ball 38 times for 296 yards and two scores. That averages out to a 7.7 yard average!

On the season Schobert had 308 attempts for 2442 yards and 28 tds. He also had 8 receptions for 200 yards and 3tds! This guy is a stud,will the badgers ignore him as a RB prospect??

<DIV id=story--text>Steve Rux thinks Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema needs to take a closer look at Joe Schobert.

When Rux, the Waukesha West coach, was told Schobert broke the single game rushing mark in a WIAA Division 1 football title game at the Badgers' home stadium at Camp Randall, he had thoughts of a bright future for his prep star.

"So where's the scholarship coming from Wisconsin?" Rux said of Schobert, who ran for 296 yards in Waukesha West's 45-26 win on Friday against Stevens Point. "I've got a guy here. That's amazing. That's fantastic."

The junior eclipsed the record established by John Clay in 2005. Clay, now a standout for Wisconsin, rushed for 259 yards on 19 carries for Racine Park.

Schobert had two rushing touchdowns on 38 carries and one receiving touchdown to lead Waukesha West (13-1) to its first Division 1 title.

Rux said Schobert has shown great vision, speed and leadership for the Wolverines all season.

"He's quite humble. He's very soft spoken," Rux said of Schobert, who came into the title game with 2,162 yards and 26 touchdowns. "But he plays his heart out, and he plays his heart out for his teammates."

In the win against Stevens Point, the Wolverines had 486 total yards, including 369 yards on the ground. Quarterback Brandon Berghoefer added two rushing touchdowns.

Stevens Point quarterback Bobby Gregorich passed for two touchdowns for the Panthers (10-4), who had their eight-game winning streak snapped.

Stevens Point running back Tanner Kolbeck wasn't happy with Schobert's performance.

"It was demoralizing," Kolbeck said. "That's the bottom line. If they can keep running the same play over and over, and just keep continuously getting a solid chunk of yards, it just takes the heart out of our of the defense."

Kolbeck led the Panthers in rushing with 18 carries for 89 yards. The Wolverines defense held Stevens Point to 128 yards on the ground.

Meanwhile, Schobert attributed his accomplishments to the support he received from his Wolverines teammates.

"Our offensive line is the center piece of it," Schobert said. "They do a great job of blocking. "I get the glory but my linemen did all the work. They deserve the credit."

Nice to see his coach speak out like that. He's only a Junior, so he has some more time to make a name for himself. At some point, however (if he doesn't end up receiving a scholarship from Wisconsin) the obvious reason why he wasn't given one has got to be stated and I hope his coach states it. We need someone with the credibility of this coach to become the one to start the honest dialogue. Just more proof of the Caste System firewall between High School and College and that's where the battle should be fought.</font></font></div></div>

Heres his senior highlights. One thing I've noticed is that Joe is a legit 6'2 and he' might not be done growing. NOt the fastest back but I'd offer him as an Athlete(Safety) with his size and credentials!

Thanks for giving this talented young man some exposure on this site. It's quite obvious that his coach is trying to be very "subtle" in asking about the deserved scholarship offer from Wisconsin. With the kid's size and ability, it's obvious he can play DI football. And if Wisconsin won't offer him, maybe send some video, etc. to Nebraska or any other conference foe. Nothing is better than staring across the field at a team you weren't "good enough" to play for, then promptly tearing up the field with your play.

And of course, he probably has very little, if any, D-I offers, and we all know why.
