A top in-state defensive player in the 2021 class has made multiple visits to Ames in recent months and said he has a good feel for the Cyclone coaching staff.
West Branch standout defensive end Jeff Bowie most recently made it to Iowa State for the game against Iowa, after also visiting for a preseason scrimmage and summer camp in June.
With offers from I-State, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northern Illinois, Vanderbilt and Virginia Tech, Bowie said he still has a lot to evaluate before making a decision. He says the Cyclones have as good a shot as anyone.
Bowie has helped his West Branch team to a 5-0 start to the season and number-five ranking in the latest AP poll. The defensive end has recorded 20 tackles, 9.5 tackles-for-loss and two sacks.
