Jaxson Backes 6'5 225 TE 2028 I’m grateful for the opportunity to compete at the North Central College Football Camp and proud of the progress I've made so far. I had a strong day in the 1-on-1s, showcasing my route running, reliable hands, and ability to create separation while also displaying my athleticism in the 40-yard dash and 5-10-5 shuttle. I take pride in being physical in the run game and continuing to develop my blocking strength. I know there's still plenty to improve, but I'm committed to getting better every day, trusting the process, and putting in the work. Excited for what’s ahead. #ClassOf2028 #TE #Football #StudentAthlete @Coach_Delinski @EDGYTIM @EliasKarras @MTHSFootball @nielstopczynski @MTHSAthletics @coachPatRyan @PrepRedzoneIL

I had a great time at the WIU recruitment college camp for Football. The coaching staff was very friendly and was easy to understand so I was able to take away a lot from this camp. I hope to return again next season as well. Blessed to participate 🙏

Best of luck to my friend Kabren Emary at the Western Illinois football camp showcase. Go make our school proud. #Golethernecks @KabrenEmary @Coach_Delinski @MTHSAthletics @MTHSFootball @WIUFootball @NolanFM_18 @PrepRedzoneIL @GoProZpects @EDGYTIM

Thanks to @EHSFootball__ and @uthsfootball for the work the last couple of days. Always great to get together in the summer. #SmartToughReliable #GoBirds
