The Wisconsin Football Coaches Association has named its 2026 all-region teams, and central Wisconsin is well represented. Fifty players from 23 area schools earned places, and eight of them were honored at two different positions.
Stevens Point and Edgar topped the area list with five selections each. Stevens Point's group was senior quarterback Trent Breitbach, senior receiver Isaac Yang, senior tight end and fullback Logan Cisewski, sophomore offensive lineman Logan Henderson and junior defensive back Trent Chandonais. Edgar's five were seniors Wyatt Klockziem, Sawyer Weiland, Tyler Schmidt and Isaiah Kraft, plus sophomore running back Graham Streit.
Marshfield placed three players on the Region 1 Large team: sophomore quarterback Ethan Foemmel, senior receiver Cam Kolstad and senior inside linebacker Lukas Halan. D.C. Everest had two picks in that region, junior offensive lineman Chris Ferrario and senior defensive end Niko Kleinschmidt, the Wisconsin Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year. Wausau West sophomore John McCorison and Wausau East senior Aiden Kilde also made the team, and Medford added four selections, led by junior running back Will Wojcik.
Among the smaller schools, Stratford had three selections: senior Tyler Budtke, senior Connor Kreft and sophomore punter Drew Bluhm. Marathon seniors Garrett Bracewell and Landon Hilgart were both picked, as was Spencer/Columbus Catholic senior Ryan Bernick. Regis placed four players on its region team, and Gilman placed four seniors in Region 5-A.
Nine of the all-region picks were also named WFCA Academic All-State last week. That group includes Edgar's Klockziem, Weiland and Schmidt, Stratford's Budtke and Kreft, Marathon's Hilgart, D.C. Everest's Kleinschmidt, Marshfield's Kolstad and Spencer/Columbus Catholic's Bernick.
