Caleb Shudak

I was at school when Shudak was there and confer with all others that he was a great player for ISU. Adding another Shudak to the roster can be nothing but good if he's anything like his old man.

The Caveman (Shudak) was also great at onside kicks. His son continuing in dads legacy at ISU would be a great story

I was going to bring this up as well. He was the best onside kicker I ever saw. Remember that play they used to run where he'd pooch it to the side and they'd catch it in the air? Onside kick without it ever touching the ground and it seemed he could almost do it at will.

I remember the rumor that he used to practice by lining up dead straight on to aim to hit the upright at PAT distance. So basically he could kick it so accurately he could actual doink it off the vertical upright.

No rumor, that is true.

In the 54 yarder he made the other night he had plenty to spare. Got a standing ovation from the Dowling crowd. All his kickoffs were well out the back of the endzone.

That's what I saw the night I saw him play at Ankeny. His kick-offs sailed over the endzone on the fly and he had 55 plus range on his field goals in warm ups. I heard someplace he was leaning toward Minnesota and it's hard to believe we haven't offered unless they have told us they aren't interested. Maybe the new coach can go after him as it would be a disaster if Jeff Shudak's son became a great kicker for Iowa.

Last update I got was that he was leaning between Iowa and Minnesota unfortunately.

There was a great ISU kicker? And he had a kid? Has he been offered a scholarship yet?

Yes there was a great kicker at ISU. See, back in the day NO ISU games came down to the wire. Therefore the kicking was excellent.

He also may have been the best tackler on the kickoff team.
