RECRUITING: Campbell secures two weekend commitments

Matt Campbell’s first full recruiting weekend as Iowa State’s head coach was a good one. 

The Cyclones received not one, but two commitments on Sunday morning from prospects who were in Ames on official visits. 

The first is Oge Udeogu, a 6-foot-4, 310-pound offensive lineman out of City College of San Francisco. 

Udeogu notably had additional offers from Louisville and Houston. He will arrive at Iowa State in January, which is huge when it comes to getting him on the field in 2016. 

Then there is Jatairis Grant, a 6-foot, 180-pound safety out of Akron, Ohio. He is formerly a Toledo commitment with (notable) additional offers from Cincinnati and the Rockets. 

We will have more on this morning’s recruiting news later today and on Monday.

Chris was hired as Cyclone Fanatic’s publisher in the fall of 2009. He is Iowa State football's postgame show host on the Cyclone Radio Network and can be heard daily from 4-7 on Des Moines' top-rated sports station, 1460 KXnO. Williams, a 2007 graduate of Iowa State’s Greenlee School of Journalism, is the former publisher of the old CycloneNation.com (Scout.com). He has also written for the Des Moines Register, the Ames Tribune, CycloneReport.com and is the former sports director at KMA Radio. When Williams isn’t working, you can usually find him doing something outdoors with his wife Ashley, daughter Camryn, and Golden Retriever Dierks. He enjoys golfing, boating, country music, the Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Braves and is passionate about any and all motor sports so finding Williams at a local dirt track is very common.
