Wessell looks athletic for a big guy.

Nice surprise addition.

Got a 88 initial rating on 247 but listed as OT.

He impressed the coaches at DT also but Clanton wants him on the o-line.

Yeah, when I started to look at his Hudl just now, I thought, “Did I make a mistake, and he’s an OL?”

But the graphic says DL, so…

It looks like he plays LT and DE for his HS team. Both look pretty good for him as I watch just a little bit of film. Really moves well.

I notice that he tagged Coach Rasheed and Coach Paup in his commit tweet.

Seems like the kind of guy the coaches arm wrestle over.

So…who wins between Clanton, Coach Sheed and Paup?

I think DE is where he most impressed coaches at a recent camp.

Matt Campbell.

I see iowa pivoted to offering another DL just like we did. PJ Fleck and the hourglass strikes again with Benton.

One sarcastic response on X. But, I like his footwork a lot. He pivots his man really well. Count me more excited than most.

I see two things there that encourage me:

• Wrestler so he understands how to use his hands and leverage.
• Shot and discus (State qualifier) so he probably has excellent footwork.

Welcome Brysen!

I've been following college football recruiting for over 15 years, including 247Sports since its inception.

When a player commits to Iowa State and is unrated, 247 usually slaps an arbitrary 84 or 85 on them. I get it—it's bad for business to have unrated commits at Power 4 programs.

But when Brysen went from being unrated to an initial rating of 88 as an Iowa State recruit... they knew they had overlooked a GEM.

This guy is a freak.

Stop stalking recruits.
