Aussie import visits Iowa State, draws Cyclone offer
Iowa State's first-year coaching staff has shown the knack for being able to recruit all areas of the country. That includes northern California, where the Cyclones recently offered a foreign exchange student from Australia.
It’s been a whirlwind recruiting process for Kentfield Marin Catholic’s Sebastian Olver, a former rugby player from Australia, who recently took a trip to Iowa State and liked what he saw.
The 6-foot-4, 248-pound junior has gotten off to a remarkable start at the high school level, given he's played just one season of football.
Olver excelled mostly as a defensive end in his junior season at Marin Catholic, although he got a brief cameo at tight end in the stretch run and ended up with six catches for 160 yards and three touchdowns.
