Welcome to the Orange and Blue. You made a great choice.

I just assumed he was headed to a G5 school. This kid is a good player, I'm shocked he was only headed to a D2 school. This is a nice add. He may never play a down, but never know what he can turn into once he is only focusing on football in college. Maybe end up at another position as well.

I’m never against taking a chance or two in a football class. Big, athletic QBs often end up at a different position and succeed because of how they understand the game. Add the local connection and the fact this kid is a winner, and it adds up to a low risk/high reward type of recruit.

while we have a legit chance , aren’t we going against the grain with this lad due to his folks both being Iowa people ?

He, or Scott Turner around the same time.

Just keep this relationship solid. Iowa doesn't seem to lose many transfers, but you never know what 3 years down the road look like.
