RECRUITING: Cyclones earn commitment from in-state linebacker Will Hawthorne
- Thread starter Connor_Ferguson
- Start date
Wait, so a LB recruit is technically faster than a former ISU punt/kick returner?
Holy **** balls
Holy **** balls
I'm a bit amazed when a track record at a school stands for 20+ years with all the changes in fitness, training and nutrition.
But guess to show on a micro/school level, being a freak athlete is a big differentiator.
As long as this thread was resurrected, I’ll say something that I’ve commented on elsewhere.
This kid is big, he can run, and he hits like a Mack truck.
In my considered opinion—and I’ve been doing this a long time—the best linebacker recruit at ISU since a guy named Blair.
Who, for that matter, didn’t actually play linebacker as a Cyclone.
With the depth in the room, special teams as a frosh.

Gonna be fun seeing him "fly" into the utah, arizona, BYU Texas Tech backfields, cutting down RBs trying to turn the corner!!
There was a state record that last 35 years and another that was around 30. Sometimes a kid comes through that just has it.
10.86 in late April
10.82 - state qualifying meet (May 15)
10.84 - state prelims
10.90 - state finals
Anchored Gilbert's 4x100 state champs and 4x200 runner-up.

Saw Stecker anchor Spirit Lakes 2nd place in 4x100. He's a big kid, wonder if he will outgrow safety.
Edit. Ethan ran 1st leg and his brother ran anchor.

So you had a black tank top and shorts also?
His 10.90 today which was 8th place in 3A would have been good for 2nd place in 4A!
There are 64 schools in 3A as opposed to 48 in 4A.His 10.90 today which was 8th place in 3A would have been good for 2nd place in 4A!
But how many students in 4A schools compared to 3A schools?
Is that kid in the background in the Algona shirt also a Cyclone recruit?
As my Grandma would say, "My goodness gracious!"
As a good friend/Spencer high school teacher says, via his students, "Clones are cool, Iowa U, not......"
This younger gen?
The daze of Hawk whatever favoritism, is on an increasingly short leash.
Who YOUNG (add African American), would prefer IU over ISU?

Looks exactly what one looks like in my mind.
