Agreed. There have been guys as nice as Reggie, but few (if any) that were nicer.
Congratulations on a great showing by your son at the Kohls National Invitational in TN this weekend. Got to see a few of his punts. He had some bombs! The state of Iowa represented well in Gatlinburg.

I can’t believe I missed this earlier, but I saw that your son is dual enrolled. I homeschooled my sons part time for many years (didn’t sleep much with the other stuff I was doing on top of that) before they dual enrolled in school and then full-time in high school. They weren’t nationally ranked kickers though.
Is he part of a PSEO program?
both of my sons did that at Iowa starting their junior years in HS. They took a bunch of classes at the University because they weren’t offered at their high school, and the school district paid for tuition. Philosophy, sociology, anthropology, Russian, creative writing etc.
A number of kids do that and take classes at community college, but it’s a whole other level to be at the UI as a HS student. As far as I remember, Mediapolis is not too tough of a commute to Iowa city, and it’s manageable with high school classes because you can take a three credit class that only meets twice a week, and some classes even have online options.
by the time my youngest son started his freshman year at Iowa, he had already taken 35 credits at the University, plus he had 16 AP credits. He’s on track to get three majors in four years.
my older son decided to go to university at least, but they didn’t except a single credit hour of his AP classes or any classes he took at the university. He did well, but he could only manage to take one major. A lot of tuition expense for not as much bang for your buck that way.
If your son came to Iowa, he could have four years paid for on scholarship and end up with a graduate degree plus one or two undergraduate degrees if you guys play your cards right and take advantage of the PSEO program.
Just some advice father to father, and Hawkeye to Hawkeye.
Enjoy the process! You’ll really miss him when you move him into his dorm, so cherish all the time you have with him now.

That’s very impressive that he started doing that freshman year. Aaron Graves to my knowledge did the same thing before he joined the Iowa football team, and he even earned his associates degree before graduating high school. I’m sure Graves is either going to stay for years and get a few majors are a graduate degree.
The University of Iowa generally accepts all those classes taken at a CC. I’m just making you aware of the fact that he can actually take classes at the university itself, because there’s really a limited selection at a community college, and of course, the faculty at the University is great.
ok but Kirk still uses the punter as a weapoh. He'd rather punt that go for it. Sometimes that pays off. Sometimes that gets you losing records against you conference rivals.
Iowa did for the Australian kickers. I would think yes unless Iowa is recruiting a better kicker.
That I know ... I was thinking schollie vs. preferred walk-on. I think we need to offer now. He can takeover after Stevens is done.
He’ll be a punter. I think the hang up is not knowing how long Taylor will be here, and if there would be a gap since Drew is ‘24.
I've got a feeling Drew will get his scholarship offer when he is in IC on 03-05-23.
Or at best offer PWOs and have them earn the scholarship once on the team.
Forget the players, but Kirk caught some crap a few years back for offering scholarships to a couple kickers.
Yep,.. But with our defensive mindset I think punting is important and well worth the scholarship...
I believe other schools have at least already offered PWOs, so if we haven’t I won’t be surprised if a scholarship offer is out there soon, if it’s not already.
True. ISU might be a fallback for Drew. I think he wants to come to Iowa.
KF is all about field position.
Why there is no Iowa offer yet I have no idea.
Meanwhile, this morning....

Agreed. Seems like the perfect replacement for Stevens. He’d be RS sophomore when he’s gone.
Iowa and many other teams seem to have the Australia thing going. Wonder if Taylor's little bro ends up here. Says he is better than him.
I think it's about time for coaches to move on... not offering an in-state KICKER (which is Iowa's bread and butter) is asinine and illogical.
A high school junior reportedly signed an $8 million NIL agreement
A high school football player in the class of 2023 has reportedly signed an NIL agreement that will pay up to $8 million.

Another is trying to get out of a 13 million NIL deal.
Is it just Iowa not doing that or are others skirting the rules?
Taylor is from Australia. Why are we stuck on the fact we have to have one from Iowa?
