Everyone knows that Hawks only look at jr high film duh... but seriously Reese Morgan was that good
New Story ***Hawkeyes land DE Caden Crawford***
- Thread starter Blair Sanderson
- Start date
It has been mentioned here and other sites that contact from Iowa has really lessened. Iowa has always recruited him as a de and I think Iowa lately has concentrated on others like Crawford and Chase Carter. Putting some bits of info here and there, it appears that Iowa hasn't been very interested. Now with landing Crawford and having a decent shot with Carter I bet the interest is nil. Plus is Graves a de? Carter is a take and he's a better prospect. period.
Given that Iowa now has the CASH-D sets as our "base" D ... our main D these days centers around the use of 2 ILBs.
If you look to the "now" ... we have 2 proven guys in Benson and Campbell.
If you look to the "near future" ... I think that we'll have plenty to be excited about Higgins and Jacobs.
If you look to the "future" given our '21 class - we loaded up on some talented LBs in Harrell, Sullivan, Twedt, and Sharar (and conceivably Hilson). Some of the guys ... like Twedt and Sharar certainly could end up having some position versatility (like maybe ending up at TE, HB, or edge-defender).
So that obviously points to the Hawks not needing to take on many LBs in the '22 class. So the emphasis will be placed more on landing "the right guy" rather than landing a ton of guys at the spot.

Sharar, according to a big isu fan here in ames, is gonna be another one of those hidden gems the staff always finds. I guess this guys son played against IFA & he said Sharar was always around the ball either making the tackle or closing off a lane. McDonald's POY finalists in basketball too
Look at the size of the opponents QB 56 seconds into the video! LolHere's our article:
Go Iowa Awesome - Hawkeyes land DE Caden Crawford
Class of 2022 defensive end Caden Crawford has committed to the Iowa Hawkeyes.iowa.rivals.com
We are starting to run some of the 4-2-5 where the WDE is in a two point stance and playing like a LB.
Yeah, but usually they still rush on that. Every once in a while they drop into coverage, but a majority of those snaps were rushed.
He’s Campbell’s size now with a year left of HS ball. He’s about 40-50 lbs heavier than Jack was at that point in HS.
looks like he has a penchant for throwing people....attn: tommy brands!!
Nah ... with size like that from the outset ... you want him to grow into that frame at DE. He'll be able to pretty comfortably grow into 270 ... but maintaining that LB-like agility and explosiveness. Given our personnel recruiting over the past few years ... it will be fascinating to see how guys develop.
Think our first two commits are a pair of damn good DEs.
"...Sharar was always around the ball either making the tackle or closing off a lane." This really shows up in his film! Seth Wallace is fantastic at recruiting (and, coaching) LBs.
Kid is impressive! Gotta love these kids that aren't just playing multiple sports but dominating them too
Agree and if we are fortunate enough to land Bonnema my bet is we shut down lber recruiting for the year.
Am I the only one slightly bothered that the golds don't match in the design on the wall?

Iowa needs O lineman who can BLOCK!
Not bad for a 17 year old.
check this out & watch:
he's gonna need a new spotter pretty soon
I realize most of you can do this but still....
What am I missing? It looks like he only did it once. Juco might be a better route.
