<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prospects in Iowa's 2027 recruiting class that have received at least one Division II offer in the last few months, most receiving several.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2118302"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a20d699a1e73"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A staple as the one-high safety on the backend of the West Delaware defense, [player_tooltip player_id='2118302' first='Paul' last='Beswick'] is a tall, lanky and rangy DB that knows exactly where he needs to be to help in coverage or find the open man and shut down any passing windows.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Also able to help in run support as the last line of defense, ball-carriers aren't going to get past the long, out-stretched arms and tackling capabilities of Beswick. His vision and awareness in tracking down running backs and quarterbacks amongst the caucaphony of bodies makes him a tackler that doesn't have to wait for the runner to come to him, either. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>So far, Beswick holds D2 offers from Sioux Falls and Minnesota State-Mankato. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1654031"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a20d8a202c34"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A player of a somewhat similar body type, [player_tooltip player_id='1654031' first='Caleb' last='Christensen'] possesses some similar traits to that of Beswick, but he plays a level down in the defense, and he has about 25 pounds on him, making him a mean middle linebacker. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With excellent ball-pursuit that can put him in the lap of any ball-carrier within a few seconds of the ball being snapped, Christensen's height allows him to see over the offensive line and into the backfield, and his larger size gives him the ability to bring down just about any ball-carrier once he gets his hands on him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Christensen's D2 offers include Missouri Western, Northwest Missouri State, Wayne State and Minnesota State-Mankato. He also holds a Division I offer from Drake. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1924920"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a20d8a202d0b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A tall, lanky tight end that can play in-line or split out wide, [player_tooltip player_id='1924920' first='Caden' last='Gray'] is a big target in the Bettendorf passing attack. Possessing a wide catch-radius, Gray is the type of pass-catcher that a quarterback could throw to a general area and have a legitimate hope of the 6-foot-5 tight end coming down with it. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With sticky hands, the ability to find holes in zone coverage, and showing no fear in trying to haul in a pass in the middle of multiple defensive backs, Gray has some legitimate potential as a pass-catcher. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He holds a D2 offer from Sioux Falls and a D1 offer from St. Thomas. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2147104"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a20d8a202d96"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">With a championship pedigree on the front lines for title winning Golden Bears of Bishop Garrigan, [player_tooltip player_id='2147104' first='Nathan' last='Leerar'] has a monstrous presence on the OL in 8-Man champions at 6-foot-4 and 270 pounds. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There aren't many offensive or defensive linemen his size at that level, and Leerar takes full advantage, completely mauling the competition. A prospect that BG often opted to run behind, Leerar has plenty of experience and received excellent coaching from one of the best in the business, Marty Wadle.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Leerar currently holds a D2 offer from Upper Iowa. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2090924"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a20d699a1ee8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The prototypical EDGE size at 6-foot-4 and now weighing in at 235 pounds, [player_tooltip player_id='2090924' first='Carson' last='Oberhoffer'] looks the part of a feared pass-rusher. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lining up on the outside of the ADM defensive line in a four-point stance, Oberhoffer looks primed and ready to get after the quarterback. It showed in his stats from last season, too. Earning All-State honors, Oberhoffer posted 33.5 tackles, including 14.5 tackles-for-loss and 8.5 sacks. He finished second in 4A in sacks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thus far, Oberhoffer holds D2 offers from Northwest Missouri State, Sioux Falls, Wayne State and Central Missouri.
