I'm gonna predict Kohl to South Dakota, where he would potentially take over for a graduating Aidan Bouman. He would have a familiar face there at WR, Quaron Adams, who made some big plays this year.


Makes sense to me. However, he might be a hot name because he is sitting behind a quality QB and he has that four star ranking. Teams like Purdue, Iowa, Missouri and others will be willing to take a chance also
 
His rating was more based on size and potential rather than being college ready.
There were reports of him tearing it up at national high school all star Qb camps. I thought he was the highest rated recruit isu had in cycle, the one said to be a great get. historically you would think he would have had been given chance, but obviously recruiting is not exactly science and Hunter leaving early allowed Rocco to leap frog him so bad timing.

The curse of the Iowa State four star. Look back at our recruiting classes and nearly every four star Iowa State landed doesn't amount to anything. Kohl, Gaines, Deyo, Imming, Dekkers, Pedersen. Verdict is still out on Moore and Neal.

Someone else said it but there's probably a reason when Iowa State lands a four star.....

I thought Neal looked great as a freshman. I think he starts next year.
 
And they have one of the largest NIL budgets. If they don't work out, you gotta shove them down the road.
I was curious and looked at previous years. Holy buckets!

I know, I can look at the roster but I wasn’t sure about COVID years.
