RECRUITING: Iowa State earns commitment from top in-state linebacker Will Hawthorne
Iowa State has earned a commitment from the top linebacker in the state in Gilbert's Will Hawthorne. The 6-foot-3, 220-pound prospect is rated as the No. 5 player from Iowa and the No. 71 linebacker prospect in the country.

They got burnt last time they took a local linebacker like that in Zach Twedt so they’re probably gun shy.
Well that’s interesting. Thinking about it even more they went 0-2 on the original HOIAC members at the linebacker position in Twedt and Logan Klemp. They probably have PTSD.
I only ever make promises to make a woman happy. And that only at certain strategic moments.
Will Hawthorne absolutely torching Dallas Center Grimes on the ground right now. Impressive to watch
Unofficially with 327 rushing yards and 4 TD, along with 8 tackles.
Yeah, they were really chirping about Twedt. We were fine cutting him loose.
No. Not until after he takes Gilbert back to the Dome for the 1st time in 20 years.
Hawthorne with 176 yards and 2 TD’s on 22 carries tonight. Holy ****
Hawthorne with 3 carries, 2 TD’s and 90 ish yards in 2 drives
Question for the group. I know Will Hawthorne would be a great linebacker, like really good.
Is he better suited at the next level as a tight end? Think about it, he will probably fill out to 6"3, 240 ish.. I think about great tight ends who run a tad smaller like EJ Bibbs, Dallas Clark, Ben Sinnott from KSU. This kid could be in that mold. Seems like a dynamic offensive guy who breaks tons of tackles, just my two pennies.

We desperately need him at LB though. We're absolutely loaded at TE.
“Better suited”?
A. How many catches has he made?
B. With his speed, kid can make a lot of money on n the NFL at LB.
C. If I wanted to pick an offensive position for him, it’d be fullback. Guys who are rarely used, still have long careers with the teams that keep them, and wind up fully vested in the pension program.
He’s going to fit in just fine at linebacker.
