He was RB in HS. I assume a DB in college. Super athlete-great kid.

Safety growing into LB eventually I think.

South Dakota offered a full ride so if Iowa can get him as a preferred walk-on it would be a real coup and add to what is already a really good class of walk-ons.

Nolan DeLong?

Correct. I'm asking where he heard Delong accepted the offer.

Watched him play against West Branch. I would say you are spot on. I was impressed with his toughness. Better that I thought he would be.

Anyone find any truth to this?

Maybe. I haven't heard anything about a commitment. Not saying it didn't happen though.

Could not tell my source but obviously pretty reliable. This kid is a great addition.

I was at that game as well. ND did nothing on offense until his final carry vs the WB 2nd squad. Defensively, he is raw. WB had an LB that impressed me more. He looked to be about 6'3 and 220.

In defense of Delong, WB sold out to stop the run(and did a very good job of it). Durant didn't make the adjustments to be successful against the stacked box. IMO, Durant had a few pieces that they could've utilized to take the focus off Delong but chose to stick with the run. West Branch was one of the most balanced HS teams I have seen in person. I was very impressed with their team.

I'm assuming the LB you are talking about is #32 Andy Henson(I think that's his name). I was very impressed with him as well. He was also the RB. He is committed to University of Sioux Falls.

I was there scouting WB for a future opponent. The Bear defense ran a 3-4 around 85-90% of the time, in every game. They had two very good LBs (Henson and #50 Trepanier). At 1A that's dangerous.

DeLong is a tremendous talent no denying it. I love it when small school kids get big time opportunities.
