Josey Jewell

**CYKOFAN** · 11-15-2012, 09:35 PM

This kid is putting on a show as Decorah is dismantling a good Heelan team in the 3A final. He's a 6-2 210 lb fullback/linebacker that runs like a deer and is all over the field on defense. He even made an incredible catch. Looks like a kid that could be a preferred walk on at least. Anybody from Decorah know if he's getting d-1 interest and any interest from us? And Decorah looks like the best 3A team I've seen play in a long time.

He's being looked at by ISU, Iowa, and UNI. His whole family is a big Hawkeye club. If they offer, he'd go. However, a current Hawk/former Viking Brett Van Sloten's dad played for ISU. Always a chance we could get him. Josey ran away from Heelan DB's on a TD run. He is someone that can contribute at a D1 level.

I saw him play at state baseball last summer. He's a really solid athlete. Pretty impressive too that he lead Decorah to the state title game in baseball too.

Thanks. That kid was really impressive as was the Decorah team. Maybe he'll want to steer clear of the mess in Iowa City and join the good guys.

Did I hear right. Heelans running back is a wegher? As a freshman he has good size. Jewell looks like a stud though

Jewell would be someone to take a shot on and offer.

What class?

I was a teammate of Josey's for 2 years; in football and track. The kid can run like a gazelle, he's as strong as an ox, and he hits harder than most. He comes from a very athletic and hardworking family. Josey is a great leader as well, he seems to have a 'Jake Knott' type of work ethic and clutchness. He has a motor that never stops. Josey Jewell would be a great benefit to any team no matter what division. The only thing he really needs to work on is his size, all of the tools are there and he has the work ethic to get to where he needs to be. Josey Jewell is a diamond in the rough.

Welcome Fratdaddy/Josey Jewell. Hope you come to Iowa State if you are as good as everyone is saying.

So he is Chuck Norris, Bill Braskie and Paul Bunyon all rolled into one? Got it.

Truth be told, reminds me a bit of Jake Knott. A guy who would be appreciative of an offer, good athelete and good work ethic. Slightly undersized but thats what the new facilities are for. Love these guys.

So, Josey Jewell is a diamond in the rough? That's very punny!
