So looking at the crop of talent in state for the 2015 class, 3 of the top 4 rated in-state recruits (via Rivals) are offensive lineman.
1) ATH Drew Cook, 6'4'', 205 lbs Iowa City - Regina (ESPN top 300 4 star, grade=80, Rivals 5.4 two start) IOWA COMMIT
2) OL OL Bryce Meeker, 6'4'', 289 lbs Cedar Rapids - Prairie High School (ESPN 3 star, Rivals 5.6 rated 3 star) NO OFFER
3) OL Landan Paulsen, 6'6'', 267 lbs Moville - Woodbury Central (ESPN 3 star, grade = 75, Rivals 5.6 rated 3 star) IOWA COMMIT
4) OL Levi Paulsen, 6'6'', 250 lbs Moville - Woodbury Central (ESPN 3 star, grade = 76, Rivals 5.6 rated 3 star) IOWA COMMIT
5) OL Jacob Newborg, 6'2'', 271 lbs, Inwood - West Lyon (ESPN 3 star, Rivals 5.4 rated 3 star) IOWA COMMIT
6) QB Ryan Boyle, 6'1'', 205 lbs, DM - Dowling (ESPN 3 star grade = 75, Rivals 5.4 rated 2 star) IOWA COMMIT
7) RB Devon Paye, 6'0'', 215 lbs, Western CC (5.5 rated 3 star) NO OFFER
8) ATH Seth Nerness , 6'4'', 225lbs Murray (Rivals 5.4 rated 2 star) ISU OFFER
Would love to land Meeker and the Paulsen twins. Corn-fed midwest kids that can anchor a line. Not sure how good Broyle is....anybody seen him play in person?
EDIT: Updated 3/27/14. The Paulsen twins, Newborg and Boyle have committed to Iowa. Meeker doesn't have an Iowa State offer yet. Don't know much about Paye yet.
EDIT: Updated 4/22/14. Looks like the only in-state kid with an ISU offer is Nerness. Wonder if we jump in on Meeker and Paye later on. The rest are Iowa bound.
