This is the WR that there is legit smoke about. Currently committed to Iowa but his Dad played for the 94-95 Husker NC's.

He had some interesting back & forth follows a couple of weeks ago with Polian & Lance. Loy followed the same time and has been hinting about him.

If he drops a CB for him it probably means he's already flipped and they are working out the details.

Pass and save the spot for 2022.

He had a VERY good year this year in just 7 games posted:

51 rec ... 935 yd ... 10 TD ... 28 car ... 170 yd ... 7 TD

Last year he put up 52/672/8TD in 13 games for the State Champs while playing alongside Rivals 4.5* #60 OA Zavier Betts who is getting serious burn for Nebraska.

Production and film check out.

Ran an 11.34 100m as a Soph. That's ok, not a game changer one way or the other at that age.

All of the 3 stars

247 has recently moved him up to a 90, 4 star. Which puts him around the top 250. As noted above, his senior year was insane.

Can also play DB

 

[pumpdog20]

Is this a Council Bluffs kid playing in Omaha?

 

[rtrn2glory]

Can he play corner??

 

[irishandy]

Does ND really need another WR in this class?

Position flex maybe?

Jojo is the flex guy

Can also play DB

I say keep throwing bodies at DB until we develop a 2-deep similar to our DB and LB corps. We need to get to a place where we can comfortably play 3 corners at the same time, especially with USC and UNC back on tap the next two years.

 

[Luckylucci]

Loy categorized this as a name that he believes ND will reach out too.

 

[NDFAN2008]

Looks like he was hurt this year average around 20 yards per catch last year for 350 yards total as a freshman. Would have 3 years of eligibility left.

 

[NDPhilly]

Yeah lol he was “Hurt” alright

 

[arndtjc]

Pass and save the spot for 2022.

Man this post is hilarious in hindsight

 

[IAIrish]

Tempting, but no proven production. Pass

 

[CanadalovesND]

Tempting, but no proven production. Pass

Lol freshman year?

 

[Dale]

Tempting, but no proven production. Pass

18 for 350 in like 8 games at Iowa might as well be a 1,000 yard season. He was part of the reason Charlie Jones transferred, they gave Keagan and Bruce more run. Johnson is good.

Pretty cool to see Arland Bruce IV. His dad was a great receiver in the CFL for many years, will be an eventual Hall of Famer.

Why does this keep popping up? I ask Iowa fans about it and they don't know of him faking.

It was a soft-tissue injury. Most people don't take those seriously, but they can be nagging and can linger for longer than one would want.

Hawkeye fans are concerned Bruce iv is going to leave via portal too

What about our boy Xavier Nwankpa?

My read was that he sat out. There was definitely plenty of talk from Iowa Twitter/247 board of the same. Faking it is a strong term, I’d guess he was injured and chose to then take his RS since he played last year. Seems a bit convenient he was healthy enough to suit up versus Pops’ old school to end the year too.

Same as some OSU fans will tell you JSN was or wasn’t sitting out.

I guess it wasn't a game he wanted to miss. It's also worth pointing out he only played seven snaps that game, which leads me to believe he was on a snap count. Which can be typical for someone coming back from injury, or is not 100%.

If you go into the portal and grab Card, Johnson, and Fiske your football gets better.

I’d take another DL guy and a safety depending in what happens with the 2023 class
