Summer Roster Heights and Weights Updated
- Thread starter Aclone
- Start date
Do we have any other DTs besides Lee, Singleton and Brown? We have previously seen them rotate alot of D-Linemen in so I didn't know if there are some others that could see the field.
I'll go with Gerry Vaughn or Aric Horne. Slide Rose back to the middle.
Vance looks to me like he'd be a great linebacker to rush off the edge. Where he doesn't have to read the offense as much as he does at the middle LB spot.
hmmm, these weights are amazing. I hope they are accurate and true. If our linebacking crop can be more physical in addition to what they already bring to the table that is huge. I would imagine that 250 pound plus linebackers are not going to get run over give up extra yards on contact.
If Rose goes back inside I’d put money on Dae’shawn Davis being the guy that comes in. I don’t think That happens though.
Enyi will be an interior D lineman, hes 312 lbs. If he wants to play in the NFL it needs to be at that position anyway. Is a great plugger of space. Not a sack guy, but effective in disruption.
well there is still some truth behind the number whether they are a couple pounds off or not.
Made a spreadsheet to show weight gains and losses. For incoming freshmen I used their commitment weight from 247. For some walk-ons I couldn't find their weight. Lemme know if the link doesn't work.

ISU football updated weights
LOL, The outside guys are always in conflict. The inside guy is, well, inside.
We have some beefy QBs after Purdy.. Holy damYea, the only position on the two deep we lack size it seems is starting QB at one of the top ten in the nation!
Uwazurike rotated inside a lot last season. We ended up regularly playing 4 at the nose. I'd suspect more of the same this season as well as Cordarrius Bailey finally getting some reps at DE.
My vote is for Eli Sanders. The 10.7 something 100 meter time stands out to me, plus he's a RB by trade, which I would think would be a natural for a KR.
I’m not gonna come on here and bash any of our guys. If you think our best option at mike is Vance, that’s fine. I think our young guys are going to push for playing time. More than last season. To the extent I could see Vance losing reps. Based on what I’ve seen the past two years. With that said, Vance makes a ton of good plays, make no mistake.
Vance has the occasional mistake in him, and the youngsters worked their way in last year so I see what you mean. To me, neither Horne nor Vaughn seem the most physically impressive, even if they have good instincts. I’ll throw Davis in there as well. The coaches have great things to say about them, so obviously I’m missing something. Maybe we’re just not seeing them at full game speed yet. They’re all a bit undersized, and if you’re undersized you have to play fast.
I always thought it was odd that the same staff that recruited Rose and all his clones also recruited Vaughn and Ar’quel Smith. We’ve seen short linebackers have success in Ames, like the great Jeremiah George, but for a staff that seems to have a mold at every position I’m interested in how they fit in.

Was snooping around Hawkeyereport and saw they updated their summer roster as well. The thing that stuck out to me was how much smaller their OLine is across the board from ours. I think I counted maybe 4 guys over 300 and we have like 20. Each program probably has it's ideal standards, but I found it interesting in terms of a p5 offensive line.
Yeah- those weights are up to date? Maybe they have a new conditioning philosophy.
The old philosophy “run until your kidneys fail” was never very popular
