2025 Recruiting List

[jbjack]

Off the top of my head... Northwest Iowa currently has in the NFL:
Cooper DeJean - Odebalt
Andrew Van Ginkel - Rock Valley
Garret Greenfield - Rock Valley
Christian Rozeboom - Sioux Center
Ko Kieft - Sioux Center
Brandon Scherff - Denison
Trevor Penning - Clear Lake (not sure if the qualifies as NW or NC Iowa...)

Lot of other quality guys too if you include more of the state... Jack Campbell, TJ Hockensen, Josey Jewell, Tyler Linderbaum, Riley Moss, Tristan Wirfs, Allen Lazard, Spencer Brown

Dutch make quality football players.

Duh! Thanks for the correction.

Northeast Iowa continues to produce. If you get bored sometime, go to the Sports Center in Larchwood. Order one of their amazing pizzas and check out the jerseys on the walls. It is an impressive display.

2. Samuel Christensen, DT from Central Lyon HS. Don't know much about him yet.

3yr HS starter for state-champ caliber teams playing interior OL and DL. HWT wrestler. 30+ ACT. Smart kid.

He attended prospect camp last summer for OL, and per hearsay, the coaches liked him but didn't offer because of tangible metrics. If coaches have 2 guys grading out the same, and one is 6'5" vs 6'2", it's tough to argue with their decisions.

I had always heard he was projected as OL at the next level, so DL came as a surprise. But at 6'2" 270, he has the frame/size to do it.

At the HS level, he could win a lot of battles with his size. Like most DL recruits, he will need at least a year on campus to develop strength, quickness, and technique.

Listened to the JI podcast with Coach Jackson on the recruiting class this morning (I was watching the MBB game when it was live last night). I get more excited about the program every time I hear Coach Jackson. Like someone pointed out during the pod, he doesn't appear to have any notes and he's talking about all 40+ recruits with personal stories.

Here is the link to the podcast if anyone hasn't seen it yet.

Since the episode, the Jacks have added two more kids.
1. Josiah Johnson, RB from Milwaukee, WI. Had nearly 2400 rushing yards and 34 TDs this past season. Was a finalist for the "Crazylegs" Hirsch Award given to the top RB in WI.
2. Samuel Christensen, DT from Central Lyon HS. Don't know much about him yet.

He graduated. His freshman year either Pierre or Isiah got injured, so they had to burn his redshirt.

Thanks.

Did Amar graduate or transfer?

Looks like we have four RBs in the 2025 class.

Calvin Hughley Jr - Alabama
Corey Blair - North Carolina
Josh Myers - SF Lincoln
James Basinger - Colorado

I believe we have two returning players and Nate White from the portal, so that puts the room at 7

Yes, returning backs are sophmore Begeman and redshirt freshman Renfro. Both are talented but nice to have filled out the room.

Would like to see a couple of RB's added. That's the one position group that we still look to be short-handed in.

There will almost certainly be some additions after the spring ball cuts. I agree with you, I find it hard to believe we are going into next year with Brenden Begeman having the most returning carries on the roster.

[bigticket1]

put this in the wrong thread! thanks

It feels like I saw at least 10 different people verballed within the last two days including the K/P bigticket was looking for. JI has a list. The most recent one was a 3* per 24/7. Coaches are basically indicating on twitter that there's more to come

CB Josiah Young 6'2" 165lb Minneapolis, MN
Offers: Miami, UNI, Oho, WMU
