Kicker Scott Starzyk has Decommitted from Iowa

I Feel Bad Taylor Swift GIF by FirstAndMonday
 
Iowa generally doesn't offer kickers a schollie in high school so he must have been good. Grateful my ass, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. I doubt Iowa will offer another kicker.

The portal comes into play more every day.
 
Unless I’m missing something, he knew this information when he committed, he knew Stevens would be on the team next year.
Actually no. If you recall Stevens went through a bad stretch last season, and Kirk benched him, and he was really struggling with consistency. He committed in the off season, and may very well have thought he could come right in and take the job, even with Drew still here. Lucky for us, Drew has been a rock this year, and that may have had our recruit rethinking, especially now that he's getting alot of other high end offers, including one from Michigan, AFTER he committed to Iowa.

Actually Yes. Steven did struggle last year but there was no indication he was leaving. SS committed in July when it was clear Stevens was returning. He should have chosen a team with a graduating kicker if he wanted a sure thing.
 
What year does the new 105 limit take effect? This will effect the kickers as much as anyone. I think we have 5 kickers/punters on the current roster. Most are walk ons. I would imagine you will see that go down to 4 maybe even 3 with one being a utility guy who can do both pretty well. It will also be interesting to see if we keep a specialist spot open for just a long snapper only position as we have for sometime now.

At NO point did I say that Stevens was leaving. Just that maybe he misread the tea leaves and thought he'd come in and beat out Stevens who was struggling. As I also stated, he's received other top end offers SINCE he committed including one from Michigan. Whether some $$ was included in some of those offers, who knows.

Next year.
It will have a huge impact on special teams.

Kid from Bettendorf has a huge leg as well, he hit a 55 yarder earlier, This decommit has been known for quite some time. I am assuming he is headed to Michigan where it was projected he was going.
 
idiotic decision. As much as Iowa depends on FGs? As a kicker wanting to showcase your talent what better place to do it than IC?
Odds he makes it to NFL?

Can’t blame these kids from taking the money. It’s not like he isn’t going to get NFL looks from whatever school he goes to if he has the leg.
