Per Shaun's Twitter feed and also reported by Morehouse and Jeff Johnson, Shaun was offered by the Hawkeyes today and committed to Iowa.
CR Kennedy's Shaun Beyer Committs to Hawkeyes
- Thread starter SPGroth
- Start date
Now that is a Thanksgiving blessing for our program! Thank you Shaun for joining the Hawkeye Family!
Recruited as a DE/TE/ATH. Played all over the field on offense and defense. Has very good hands. Size is good and could easily put on weight to play DE. Very athletic. Qualified for Drake/State in high jump and hurdles.
I don't believe it. Nebraska offered him and we all know that no one would choose Iowa over Nebraska.
I think you will see some de-commits as coaches get fired/hired at other places. So I would no be surprised to see Iowa's class shake up a little bit between now and signing day.
Beyer is a solid player. Saw him play in a couple of games this year and the kid is stud. He just had a knack for the ball and was all over the field. The good thing is he can play multiple positions, so where ever the coaches feel the need to put him, he will excel. I mean Ike Boettger was a TE out of HS and now is one of our Tackles. So you never know.
Also helps to steal a recruit from NDSU

I like the offer. This class is heavy on out of state talent (not complaining). But its always good to get a some qualified local kids, as they are much less likely to bust, quit, or transfer. Beyer looks like a football player, and I'm sure he will buy into the conditioning program, and he will show up somewhere on the depth chart as a RS Sophomore. Bring me all of the athletic 6 ft 4 inch 210 pound iowa/nebraska/wisconsin kids we can find, and we will find a position for them later.
Love this bit:
Nebraska offered Beyer a scholarship earlier this month. He was scheduled to unofficially visit Lincoln on Friday when the Huskers play host to Iowa. That trip has been canceled with his Hawkeye pledge.

Kid is a Hawkeye through and through, and he's going to be a stud. Man, I hope this starts a pipeline for Kennedy, but I don't know if any kids are comparable to him in the program right now. I haven't watched enough of the games since I've been back in Cedar Rapids.
Comparable, but Fant was already a Nebraska lean to many fans. I'd rather have a kid all in on Iowa than a kid that was waiting for a Nebraska offer at his position.
You can stop with the "Us" schtick. You're not one of "Us".
I've seen much better Trojan Horse attempts.
Like Hayden always said, "those Iowa kids have that extra heartbeat." And besides, we all know Nebraska is NOT a championship caliber program, so you really can't compare a Nebby offer to one from the Hawkeyes. 
Will be interesting to see where they put him. I saw him play a few times this year. He is a very good receiver. He can go up and get it.
