WR Austin Kutscher?

[IowasLaw]

Just committed to the Hawks as a grad transfer from Ohio State. I don’t think he played much/at all for them, and couldn’t find any stats, but given the coaching he has received and the guys he played with, he has to be a major upgrade to Iowa’s D2 WR room.

Does he bring Mila Kunis with him?

 

[Max_Rebo]

He was great on “That 70s Show”

 

[The Deplorable Sleeping Dog]

Hard to get time when there are 2-4 5* receivers in every class.

 

[CRazzle]

Does he punt or block?

Welcome aboard!

Walk-on?

 

[DewHawk]

Walk-on?

yes, and really hard to get excited about this.

 

[BHoppy]

yes, and really hard to get excited about this.

Walk on at Ohio State as well. Played in 3 games the time he was there.

Sweet, we are getting scout team portals.

Was anyone excited about Charlie Jones when he committed? Not saying he's another Jones. But the dude was apart of on one of the top Big dogs.

Are you trolling with this?

re: "major upgrade to Iowa's D2 WR room"

As far as I can tell, Kutscher was an unrated/unraked high school recruit. I did find
a 2018 article which reported his commitment to OSU and stated:

"Kutscher chose the walk-on offer from Ohio State offer double-digit scholarship offers from programs like Ashland, Malone, Saginaw Valley State, Walsh and Wheeling Jesuit."

Most of the schools that offered him were below D2 and in the 4 years at Ohio State he had zero receptions ......

The Iowa Slaw troll project continues.....

I’m sure we’ll all appreciate this pick-up as much as we did the Stilianos addition. Game-changer.

Purdue was, cuz they knew how they were gonna use him. Unlike Iowa.

 

[bansheexyz]

Kirk and Brian would put Randy Moss on special teams and rave about his kick returning ability. Great hands, soft hands for fair catching kicks.

I am waiting for Soaker to update his "x" number of PPG increase .

 

[Bishop1971]

I'd like to see what he brings to the table before trashing him. Not like it's costing us a scholarship and that many years as a backup just means depth at wr if nothing else. Then again he might turn out to be a contributor in some way. Welcome aboard and glad he's a hawkeye.

 

[hknation]

Hang tough, Mr. Kutscher.
Disregard all the snarky comments as you have a walkon opportunity at Iowa that many B4 you have excelled and over achieved. Why not you, too?
Welcome and give'm hell.

Got to admit this was a good lol and probably not to far from the truth

Which walk-on WR recruit has excelled and over-achieved? Also, I doubt he is on this board, so I don't know who exactly you are talking to.

Which receiver (period) has excelled and overachieved since DJK and Marvin? It’s not their fault at all but it’s how we’ve basically underutilized guys like ISM and Brandon Smith and then ignored receivers the past two years.

 

[hawkjt]

Riley McCarron.

 

[Thunderlips71]

The hammer has finally dropped!

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

With a name like that, if he sees the field at all the MeTV NIL deal will write itself.

Nick Easley was a walk-on transfer from Iowa Western. later earned a scholarship

His HS film work and his lack of college reps (at any level) don't really exude anything close to CJ. As well, our offense has not exactly elevated WRs.

 

[scotthawk1964]

Hard to say how good this kid will be as he has not taken any snaps at tOSU. I would say tOSU's worst scholarship WR is better then our best scholarship WR's, and being a walk on and making tOSU's roster probably means he is on par with kids we recruit. However he is a live body who wants to suit up for the Hawks at WR, so I'll take him. LOL

Story reminds me of Mike Furrey who couldn’t get on the field for OSU but set many records at UNI.

 

[pistachio1999]

Look who he has been buried behind. Basically NFL starters.

UNI offense > Iowa offense.

Hard to gauge any receivers if they aren't targeted.

based on his stats, this is certainly true.

That’s a whole lot of useless crap.

 

[BigOHawk]

Really? 93 catches at any level vs. any competition is impressive, however I'm not sure the blanket statement of 'any OSU WR receiver' is better than anyone on our roster, a bit of stretch IMO. Little risk for Iowa, we are loading up in the WR room, at least in the PWO class and if one or two flash then it was worth it. Still think that big kid from KS is gonna play sooner than later and KU and K-state will be kicking themselves for not getting in with him.

 

[Bishop1971]

I wonder what his 40 time is. Wonder the same about Anderson too.

 

[Capiche]

Wouldn't be surprised if a couple of OSU's '22 WR class (4 commits) hit the transfer portal after spring ball. OSU returns its 3 starting WRs next year. Hartline's '23 WR class is probably the best group he has brought in yet. The one '24 WR committed recruit is ranked #2 in the Rivals top 250 list.

That's a decent bunch of wr's, lol.

Anderson self reported a 4.41 40 a week ago or so.. take it FWIW.
