ISU offer adds to Dekkers' ascent
It's been a whirlwind past month for a northwest Iowa quarterback who has seen his recruiting stock explode with a series of camp performances on the regional and local circuit.
West Sioux rising senior Hunter Dekkers earned MVP honors at an Elite 11 Regional, thus earning a spot in the prestigious final round event to be held later this month. He also came to Iowa State this past weekend and earned a coveted offer from an in-state Power-5 program.
Dekkers, who led his West Sioux team to a 1A championship last fall, said he came to Ames without much pressure and didn’t hear much from coaches in the days leading up to the camp. In 2018, he completed 208-of-341 passes for 3,641 yards and a 48:10 touchdown-to-interception ratio.
With the Elite 11 Finals looming June 28-30 at the Ford Center at the Star in Frisco, Texas, Dekkers plans to fit at least three more visits into his schedule with a commitment planned for late this month or in early July.
