Sounds like a great kid and the type of player Iowa loves to have on their team. I hope he can contribute this year and it would be awesome if he earned a scholarship for his senior year.

Sorry. Added some video in the story. Meant to do that before publishing.

Went back and watched some film from last year. Kid can block.

How is a kid who's playing and contributing not on scholarship? That doesn't seem right to me. I would think you find one somewhere.

Hopefully good things come for him. Sounds like he is a great young man. The type of person you are proud to know and have on your team.

He was hurt a lot last year and missed quite a bit of time. I think that contributed to it. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get one this summer depending on what type of attrition happens after spring practice ends.

Did they ever say what injury Nate Vejvoda had. I know he didn't play last year.

 

[RobHowe]

Not sure on Vejvoda. He's healthy now. He's part of the mix for long snapping as well as TE depth.

He's having a nice day today and yes he should have a scholarship
