Hopefully, we can capitalize on an Evan Jacobson commitment, as it appears Premer is out of the picture...

Y’know what? Even if Evan goes elsewhere, we’ll be fine. Either they’ll locate some sleeper this fall who’ll turn out to be a real monster, or they’ll hit the ‘27 class hard.

Well, they’ll be hitting the ‘27 class hard either way.

Point is, the TE room is stuffed now, and will be well stocked in ‘26 regardless.

Based upon who the top contenders are and recent commits if we don’t land Jacobson now I’ll actually be disappointed

FYI, looks like the ISU Rivals site is now transitioning to On3, and it’s going to suck royally until the finish.

Keep getting actual 404 messages when trying to use links. How long has that been since you’ve seen it? The Nineties?

A few notes…

Apparently WR Milan Parris attended an event somewhere and got measured “officially”. Now listed at 6’5 1/2” 205.

Kaprice Keith got an offer last month from Colorado. He’s competing in 7 on 7 tournaments.

Edit: Oh yeah—it looks like he might wear the famed #28 of his cousin, only on defense.

CB Messiah Tilson flipped from Rutgers to KY. Big DT JJ Perez got an offer from the home school, and flipped from Florida to tOSU.

Edit: LB Pierce Petersohn committed to Penn State.

*It will be interesting to see if Easton Webb gets picked as a pitcher somewhere in the MLB Draft Sunday/Monday, that coukd have a significant impact on his choices.

I feel like I’m missing something, but that’s okay.

Picked up a commitment today. There’s a different commitment thread going for him


Flipped from Wake, after flipping from SD State. Only other P4 offer at the moment. Drake’s video shows some good hands, consistently catching the ball away from his body.

Got an opinion about Drake's (cool name) speed, his quickness?

6-6, 240, lean guy. He'll be playing at a much weightier level down the road. Like his nimble feet, moves well, imho.

Does he remind us of any of our current TEs? I know, we've got highly regarded youngsters in that room we haven't seen yet. Hope he's set firmly on ISU (two previous commitments).
