Iowa Western Community College

Even though Osborne helped Iowa Western get their program off the ground, Nebraska appears to have a much stronger relationship with Fort Scott in Kansas.

Iowa western has a tremendous coaching staff.

Also, in their first ever game, Tom Osborne and Eric Crouch were there.

Six Reivers signed national letters of intent with NCAA Division I schools Wednesday on the first day of the midyear signing period for junior college players. Five are joining teams in Bowl Championship Series conferences, boosting the second-year program’s credibility on a national level while making Wednesday a landmark day in IWCC’s brief football history.
“Obviously, we’re excited,” head coach Scott Strohmeier said. “Those are some good players and part of the reason why we were successful this year. That many guys getting opportunities to go on to some major schools is good for the school, good for the program and good for these guys.”
Three of the five Reivers headed to BCS schools are native Iowans who received little recruiting attention coming out of high school. Jared Ebert, a defensive tackle from Iowa City, honored his verbal commitment to No. 2 Oregon. Offensive lineman Dan Heiar, from the town of Charlotte north of Davenport, fulfilled a lifelong dream by signing with Iowa. Center Dallas Hendrikson, from St. Ansgar, is headed to Rutgers.
Quarterback Zack Stoudt and cornerback David Whitmore are getting a second chance as D-I recruits. Stoudt, a Columbus, Ohio, native who began his college career at Louisville, signed with Mississippi. Whitmore, a former Nebraska recruit, is headed back to his home state of Texas to play for Baylor.
Reserve tight end Max Miller, of Stuart, Iowa, signed with San Jose State on Wednesday, giving the Reivers six D-I scholarship players thus far.
Defensive tackle Shaq Rowell and defensive end Lenard Williams soon may join their teammates. Both have offers from BCS schools but are still making official visits.
Two Reivers plan to join D-I programs as walk-ons. Receiver Willie Baughman, a Harlan graduate, is finalizing things with Iowa State. Omaha native Bo Adams, an offensive lineman, is expected to go to Kansas.
In all, the Reivers are sending players to five BCS conferences (Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-10, Big East and Southeastern) after having only one player, running back Kevis Streeter (Louisiana-Lafayette), go D-I following the school’s first season of football.

Looks like we have a walkon.

Definitely a program on the rise.

Anybody know what kind of offense they have there? Pro-style? Spread? Something else?

Just curious what style they're teaching their kids.

Hopefully just bringing in a walkon will help ISUs credibility and relationship with the IWCC staff. It looks like a lot of their best players had their sights set on some higher profile schools. With an improved relationship, ISU might reep some rewards from the Reivers.

They have a kid named Andrew Brown that could be the next Mike O'Connell. Not very tall, but fast, very strong, and hard-working.

From the highlight videos I have seen it looks like they run a spread offense. I imagine they would have to as they most likely wouldn't have the athletes to consistenly run a pro-style, thinking mostly lineman.

[cyismydog]

Spread. Our fiftieth string quarterback, Austin McBeth, started there last year.

Kevin Jackson's son attends Iowa Western, started at DT this year, anyone know if he'll be coming to ISU?

I really hope they continue to do well. It would be fantastic to have a JUCO so close to pick from.

[Frak]

Ebert would've definitely helped us out, and started right away. But look at who else was recruiting him. Oregon? Florida? He probably wasn't coming to Ames. He grew up in Iowa City, too.

And Hendrickson is arguably one of the best JUCO centers in the nation. He would have definitely helped us out and started right away.

I don't doubt that about Ebert, but I'll disagree about Hendrickson. ISU obviously either didn't want, didn't need or had other guys they liked better than Hendrickson, Stoudt and Heiar. Otherwise, they would have offered. I'd argue that ISU could have secured a commitment from any of the three with an early offer. It is obvious that ISU liked Tautolo better than Hendrickson even though I have my doubts that either would/will start right away for ISU. Farniok is going to be tough to beat out.
