Late August means more than the return of Iowa football after a long off-season. All around the country on Friday nights, future college stars are taking one final shot at leading their high school teams to a state title.
Last year, one of the stars of this series was Reece Vander Zee, who led his Central Lyon George-Little Rock team to the state championship game, before falling in a heartbreaker to Van Meter. Central Lyon was poised for a storybook ending, down 3 points with the ball on the Van Meter 3-yard-line on 4th-and-goal. Instead, an errant snap sailed past Vander Zee and ended the game.
It took Vander Zee a single game in Iowa City to start making his impact at the next level. Who might join him next year as Iowa's next breakout freshman?
