Is Kyle Orton the most recent QB from an Iowa high school to play in the NFL?
Beneventi looking around

- Start date

Using the term "play" very loosely here but I'm not sure who is older between Orton and Rosenfels
have any other Iowa home grown boys ever played in The League?

So wanting to coaches to get the players they offered is being a troll? Why don't you send a note to the coaches and let them know that they should have never offered Cook and Boyle, I'm sure they are looking for your advice as much as I am. Now go troll someone else d0uchebag.

When YOU get a clue, come back and post.
Get real. You REALLY think a QB has an "exclusive" in a recruiting class?

You might recall a James Vandenberg. He played in a preseason game last year for the Vikings before being cut.

In the last ten minutes, I have seen three of your comments - all crazy negative. If you want to troll, be more discrete. Otherwise, it is really obvious that your comment is irrelevant.

I had to BUMP this brilliant recruiting analysis here.
Beneventi just got a * taken away, and Boyle gained a *. So now Beneventi is the 2* prospect and Boyle is the 3* kid. I wonder if Iowa ends up pulling Beneventi scholly offer, he has had a pretty disappointing Sr. season so far.

I've watched Boyle play his last couple of games and admittedly those were the first times I'd seen him in action. He's impressive.

When he was a Fr. I had a buddy who did some coaching at Dowling and said he was gonna be a stud. I think the coaches want him a QB, as he is a very good looking QB prospect. He's got a good arm, and can scramble, and throw on the run. I would not be surprised if Beneventi doesn't end up coming to Iowa. We had Weigers in last class, Boyle in this one, and Stanley in the '16 class.

Pulling his scholarship would be very un-Ferentzian. Keep in mind that Beneventi transferred to a new school and new offensive system this year and dealt with some family issues off the field as well. That doesn't fully excuse his play, which has been pretty bad, but I think the physical tools that were there six months ago (size, arm strength) are still there.

Kid needs some consistency in his life going forward. Red Shirt season at Iowa could help with that.
I said it before the highschool season even started.. switching high schools your senior year seems like a huge deal. Especially as a star football player.

He's been the most dominant in the games I've watched by scrambling, but that's only because it's clear he's the best athlete on the field and it always seems to be open for him to run. When he has thrown it definitely looks like he's tossing a nice ball. I hope he stays at QB for the Hawks. It's been awhile since Iowa has had an athlete like Boyle at QB.

Well, not for the Hawks, but (off the top of my head):
- Kurt Warner (UNI) went to Cedar Rapids Regis HS (played one year at Burlington HS).
- Kyle Orton (Purdue) went to Southeast Polk HS.
- TJ Rubley (Tulsa) went to Davenport West HS.
- Sage Rosenfels (ISU) went to Maquoketa HS.
All made it to the league. All were both top flight college quarterbacks, starting multiple years for their team.
I know an assistant coach that has coached against Boyle the last few years. He thinks he's a good HS qb and ok athlete. But he's on such a good team that it props him up. He's not sold that he'll be a difference maker at the next level. He's got the physical ability clearly he's not a statue. I think he's got way more potential then say Rudock did at same point. Rudock was in a pass happy O with like 3 D1 WRs to toss it to. I think more of Boyle then the coach I know. He just thinks he's never been tested or had to throw the ball to win a game... So we'll see.
As far as Benneventi goes I'd prefer he look else where. I think 2 qbs this class is plenty and I like Cook alot. That kid is a stud athlete and when he fills out some more look out. He's already a stud on the hardwood. I think it'd be in Benneventis best interest as well instead of being burried on the bench for a few years then transfering if he would stay that long. He's got MAC written all over him..

Here's an article on Cook where he talks about beginning his Iowa career at QB:http://thegazette.com/subject/sport...position-will-drew-cook-play-at-iowa-20141121
