How is his arm? Would be nice to have a mobile qb. I saw they want him as a safety
His best throws are pretty good, but he’s nowhere near the consistency of a D1 QB recruit. If he were at Ankeny with Jase Bauer, he would be a RB/WR on offense. He was invited to the (formerly Army) All-American game so he’s hardly an unknown player either.

He’s fun as hell to watch on offense though. They run a 4/5 WR spread offense that is designed for him to run around and make plays. A decent number of his big throwing plays come after scrambling around for 5+ seconds. I can’t even imagine trying to defend him at the 1A level.

Keagan Johnson and Beau Stephens were bumped to 4* in 247’s own rankings today. That makes eight 4* commits in the 2021 class (247 rankings, not composite). Without looking, I have to imagine that is the most since 2005.
Keagan johnson is going to be a fucking stud.

Changing my tune on Max White. Seems like a good year to be a
walk-on running back. The kid makes some really good cuts and is a bit bigger than I realized.

Supposedly Brian wasn’t very involved in Fidone’s recruitment and that kind of turned him off to Iowa. Would be interesting to see if that changes if he were to decommit.

If he doesn’t take it, do they offer Aaron Smith?

I don’t think they are offering Smith. That would take a pretty big change of heart.

They’re interested in him or he’s interested in them?

I would assume he's going elsewhere.

If you had a son who was a 4 star WR, you wouldn't let him go to Iowa right now.
I'm sure they're telling all their receivers it's a covid thing and they're bringing in others to improve the position. They can spin this.

Only hope is that his relationship with Copeland can keep him. His Dad mentioned Copeland multiple times in all his radio interviews around Omaha after Keegan committed.
