Nice, always confident in the staff identifying early OL. How many OL they looking to take in 18? Looks like a OG, I'd say 1-2 tackles and a center and 4 total?

I read another article that stated his weight at 235lbs. 260 definitely sounds better

Indeed, and if we keep our depth on the O-line he can put on quite a bit more with a few years under Doyle.

And he is only a junior in high school. For crying out loud, does the kid even have a drivers license yet?

Great news! Any time Iowa lands a early recruit it is a very good thing. Right now they are after their very, very top of the list kids, so they must really think this kid is a stud.

I guy that covers high schools in his area said on Twitter that the kid is really athletic. That's nice to hear.

Just watched the film on him. He really gets out and pulls like a beast, and looked very athletic for OL.

If the coaches get used to James Daniels's pulling ability and down field blocking, this kid could be our next center.

Now they need his teammate, Samson. Amazing playmaking QB with 4.3 speed.
