Class of 22, ATH from Humboldt, info hard to find so probably PWO
PWO question for the folks who follow recruiting closely: Does our current staff not make PWO offers before the December signing day? I saw around the December signing day that Iowa put out a list of PWO signings (are there formal signings for PWO?) on Twitter. I don't recall seeing one for ISU, but could've missed it...just seen the handful of guys announcing their PWO commitments the last couple weeks for us. All signees are a crapshoot, generally odds of success increasing from WO to PWO to Scholarship of course, but it would be a bummer to lose some [potentially big-impact] in-state PWO guys over the years to an annual opponent because they put more emphasis on recruiting those guys for December signing vs picking up guys in February who had been holding out for full-ride scholarships elsewhere. I realize it's a small number of guys and the percent who actually make a big impact is even smaller but just curious.
Not an expert but this can be pretty fluid. I remember Brandon Meyers from PCM had a PWO offer from Iowa and was set to take a scholarship from UNI. Eleventh hour something fell through and Iowa offered him a full ride. So some of those PWOs aren't announced until schools know who's getting a full ride.
I don't know about specific program or staff things. But my understanding as far as the bolded question is that there's nothing formal or official for preferred walk-ons. The letter of intent that is submitted during signing periods is specifically about scholarships. I don't think Iowa themselves could have put out a list of PWOs because of recruiting rules? But maybe you just saw a recruiting service article or something.
I assume that the staff isn't doing anything that would put them at a disadvantage relative to other programs, but I guess I don't know why all of the PWO commits have been in the past few weeks.
Huh, interesting. Then I guess I must have been wrong. The players must do something that officially ends their recruitment, because otherwise I don't see how the program could tweet that without breaking a rule. This page says basically what I originally said though: https://www.ncsasports.org/recruiti...lk-on offer,season, but nothing is guaranteed

We've worn it multiple times with both the colored and black & white logo. Black & white I recall against TCU 2019 and Iowa 2021.
Must be bad lighting or something, because that looks more like a putty gray than white.
This kid is a tough little athlete. Humboldt had had its share of raw athletes over the last 15-20 years, better than most communities its size.
Matson might be the best pure athlete of the bunch from a football perspective. Similar to a Levi Peters type. I fully expect him to be a factor on special teams at some point.
