Post by waverider »

#18 player in Iowa per FTW.

He had an offer from Kent St recently and was offered a PWO spot at University of Iowa.

Played in 4 games last year as a junior when he broke his collarbone. That would tend to hold a kid back as a recruit. Before that he completed 76 passes in 116 attempts for 959 yards with a 9-2 td/int ratio. He was here just a couple of weeks ago.

66% completion rate is pretty good.

If they're throwing the ball down the field, sure...if they're spread and dinking and dunking with glorified handoffs, less so.

There was a college QB recently that had a high completion percentage but very few completions over 15 yds.

959 yds on 76 completes doesn't look like a dink and dunk OFF add 9 passing TD's in only 4 games that is very good . Hope we can hold on to him after a full season.

That's easily possible with YAC, especially given none of us have any idea the level of competition in Iowa.
