"Can", probably, but I think there is only one of last year's schollies open, so however many enroll in Jan, more than that one would count against this year.Since he is enrolling early, can he count as last year's scholarships?
Rough draft of next year's defense:
Safeties: D. Sims M. O'Connell
CB's: T. Benton/A. Young and S. Johnson
LB's: inside: P. Neal
outsides: F. Mattison/J. George and A. Klein/J. Knott
DL: R. Parker S. Rumpolhamer B. Johnson R. Nelson

I'd sure like to find another Juco d-lineman or two to push for playing time. ISU finished 112th in the nation in sacks last season. We could use more than just one new player in the mix.

Will he count against this year's 25-scholarship limit, then?
The NCAA limits team to 25 scholarships per year. If players can start in the spring, they can be counted against last year's class. That's why we take more than 25.
Wrong. P. Neal is a defensive end and I assume you mean Leonard Johnson not Sedrick Johnson.
Safeties will be Sims and Durrell Givens with O'Connell backing both up. Wouldn't be surprised to see Adrian Bennett get playing time also.
Linebackers will be Klein, Lattimer, Knott. Mattison will redshirt for sure (he only weighs 190) and George will probably redshirt also. Hubert also will be in the mix. He is probably the best linebacker in the class. He looks ready to play immediately.
