WEST COAST midfielder Brad Ebert has been rewarded for his impressive performance against St Kilda at Subiaco Oval last Saturday with the round 17 NAB Rising Star nomination.
The 18-year-old collected 25 possessions and booted three goals in the Eagles' 17-point win over the Saints.
Ebert was taken by the Eagles with pick No.13 in the 2007 national draft and has played 13 games so far this season.
West Coast coach John Worsfold said Ebert was highly rated by the club.
"Brad has impressed us all with his attitude and willingness to learn from the day he joined the club," Worsfold said.
"He earned his opportunities through outstanding form in the WAFL and has shown why our recruiting staff rated him so highly last year."
Ebert is the nephew of South Australian football legend Russell Ebert and the cousin of Port Adelaide forward Brett Ebert.
He is West Coast’s second nomination this season following Ben McKinley in round five.
