Four-star OL Connor Colby commits to Iowa

Four-star offensive lineman Connor Colby committed to the Iowa Hawkeyes.

After traveling all over for camps this month, four-star offensive lineman Connor Colby decided there is no place like home. So the 6-foot-6, 275-pound Cedar Rapids native made the call tonight and committed to Iowa Hawkeyes.

"Nothing compared to Iowa," Colby told HawkeyeReport.com. "It felt like home from the first time I stepped foot on campus."

A four-star prospect in the Class of 2021, Colby chose the Hawkeyes over scholarship offers from Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska, Virginia Tech, Minnesota, and Iowa State.

For Iowa, it was offensive line coach Tim Polasek that took the call on Friday night and received the commitment from the soon to be junior at Cedar Rapids Kennedy.

"I called Coach Polasek and gave him the good news," said Colby. "He kept yelling 'Oh my God' and was super excited."


Overall, Colby is commitment No. 2 for the Iowa coaching staff in the Class of 2021, joining Illinois offensive lineman Gennings Dunker.

Of course Coach Polasek would love this. Coach Doyle too. Connor is a starter kit for an NFL O-lineman.

[KuwaitHawk]

Get on a training program with Coach Doyle now.

Kid looks to have long arms, at least in this pic

 

[mikesright]

This kid’s film is basically nothing but pancakes and if he wanted to extend his recruitment he’d get offered by about every blue blood in college football. Glad he’s staying home - huge get.

 

[And1Hawk]

Boom!

 

[HawkNole09]

Kid’s going to be 6’7” 295+ coming in as a freshman.

Now we need to starting nailing down some interior OL with quicks and pop. Start converting DTs, like Linderbaum.

We need some lions to run with tackles like CC.

 

[mikesright]

Can’t wait to see him hip toss a Nebraska DL or 5 when he plays.

 

[Herky58]

WOW

Welcome to the Hawkeye family

what a way to start the weekend !!!!

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Kennedy plays some solid teams too. Not some 2A school with a bunch of 175lb DL he's pancaking. Love that he committed so early and he can get on a training program early.

 

[ChisHawk81]

My Buckle up Thread continually proven!!

 

[desihawk]

And in the deep south, Voldemort stirs. But this time around Dumbledore will keep the recruit.

As a CRK alum, I love when Cougars go to iowa

 

[meatloaf55]

This is an amazing start to 2021... 2 excellent commits

 

[GunnerHawk]

Two very good looking tackle prospects to start out swarm21. Hope Mr. Rubley takes note, his blind side is well protected. Our 2020 class should be close to complete by the end of summer, then it's on to 2021. I have high hopes that 21 can be awfully good, even better than Swarm20 that is shaping up to be a very good class.

You're not very familiar with 2A football, are you?

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Come on........you guys know.

 

[Franisdaman]

Since he committed to Iowa, does he drop to a 3 star?

 

[PHXIowaClub]

Time for Bollers and Liddle to jump on board. All all the other 5.7 3 stars

According to Blair's third post, it looks like he doesn't have any stars now.....

 

[steventrelain]

Wrong class 2021

Non sequitur reply.
