Iowa Offers Class of 2025 Iose Epenesa (pronounced Yo-say)

I agree Playing D at Iowa, assuming you perform, gets you plenty noticed by the NFL. Yet you seem to imply it is the only logical choice if that is your goal which I don’t agree with. I am no Miami fan, but to say going there if you want to go to the pros is a bad choice doesn’t pass the sniff test. As if Miami is terrible at getting guys to the pros…

Miami squanders more talent. They are certainly not known as a developmental program, they consistently recruit at insanely high levels. Last year, Iowa had 29 players on 53 man rosters compared to the U with 20. To compare this looking at recruiting starting at 2022 back to 2017.
Miami average stars Iowa average stars
2017: 88.68 84.52
2018: 90.99 85.61
2019: 88.34 85.75
2020: 90.29 86.79
2021: 90.73 88.08
2022: 91.28 88.06

Let's go a step deeper and look at starters currently in the NFL according to our lads not counting specialist
Miami: 7
Iowa: 19


All of this shows that Miami is not a better option if your overarching goal is to go pro.
