Why don't we hear more about Hunter Dekkers?

Dude was a 4-star, showed out at Elite 11, big boy, big arm, fast & athletic, he's not played a ton, but has had some big plays in mop-up duty. Why aren't people outside of Ames talking about him. I feel like if he was next man up at Texas or Oklahoma, we would be sick of hearing about him by now...

Am I missing something?

Sorry, Mrs. Dekkers. Hunter will be talked about a lot as soon as basketball season is over.
 
Is it news that we don't draw the media attention of Texas or Oklahoma?

Also, we had the best quarterback in school history, statistically speaking, and stumbled to a pretty disappointing season. So if you're a dispassionate observer trying to decide whether or how much to cover the ISU QB room this offseason, there's not a lot of reason to think we'll do better with the guy backing him up.

I think most ISU fans have justifiable reason for optimism, but I understand why outsiders wouldn't.
 
If you had the next Tom Brady ready to start, I would keep it a secret too!

I have no idea who will be the starting QB at Texas or OU let alone the backup. Besides the OU QBs leaving, I'm intrigued with how well or how bad Skyler will do at KState.
 
Saw an article from either 247 or Heartland? ranking Big 12 quarterbacks, and they had him at 9th, which I think was too low, but obviously they're giving the benefit of the doubt to anyone who already has a bunch of starts under their belts.
Saw that too. And then this thread. Coincidence? Not likely.

I think you're missing the fact that its the offseason.

Usually football season is August through December with a few games taking place in January.
