Iowa State's summer on-campus camp circuit will get underway tonight when the program hosts its first Friday Night Lights Camp. I've heard the next two camps will likely be bigger weekends for visitors (including Re-al Mitchell and Sterling Galban being here next weekend), but there's still a handful of key guys set to be this week.
Here are a few of the guys I'm hearing will be at the camp:
*** The biggest fish set to be there on Saturday is Dowling defensive end John Waggoner. Iowa State became the first school to offer the state's top prospect last summer when he was on campus for one of these camps and he's since become one of the top priorities on the staff's board. His other suitors include Iowa, Oklahoma, Michigan, Florida and Ohio State so anytime Iowa State can get him on campus is big.
*** Iowa State was the first Power 5 school to offer Georgia safety Aaron Casey during the spring and he'll be on campus this weekend. The 6-foot-1, 205-pound three-star also holds offers from Rutgers, West Virginia, Indiana and quite a few others.
*** Cedar Falls 2019 linebacker Jack Campbell has become one of the staff's top priorities for the next cycle over the last few months. His other offers are from Iowa and Northern Iowa, but I wouldn't be surprised to see that list grow after the camp circuit this summer.
*** Iowa State was the first school to offer Texas running back Isaiah Spiller, but since then Oklahoma, Baylor, Texas A&M and a handful of other schools have offered too. This will be a good opportunity for the Cyclones to make an impression on the No. 22 running back in the 2019 class.
*** One last guy who will be interesting to see will be Illinois 2021 quarterback JJ McCarthy. He caught the staff's eye during the satellite camp at North Central (IL) last week and picked up an invite to camp. It will be interesting to see if the Cyclones offer after getting another chance to see him up close.
I'll be out at camp today so I'll have updates.
