ISU summer official planned for 2021 Florida defensive back
Although he has yet to step foot on campus, a 2021 Florida defensive back says he feels right at home when talking about Iowa State.
Seffner Armwood junior Noah Biglow said a number of members of the Cyclone coaching staff have made sure to keep reminding him he’s a priority for next year’s class.
“Iowa State is showing me tremendous love,” said Biglow. “It’s crazy how much they show me, from mail to personal letters to Facetime calls from the coaches. I even have relationships with some players, too. It’s made me feel like I’m already there and family to them. I’m loving everything they have going on.
“I love what they’re trying to build. Everything is a family up there. They have new facilities coming in. All the love they’ve been showing, that’s their whole team and it comes first. I’m hearing from Coach (Tyson) Veidt, Coach (Jon) Heacock, Coach (D.K.) McDonald, Coach (Matt) Caponi and Coach (Matt) Campbell.”
The 6-foot-0, 170-pound Biglow also has a Power-5 offer from Virginia to go along with several others in the G5 ranks.
In addition to his connection with the I-State staff, Biglow said it’s his relationships with current and future players that have put the program in such a good position.
“I talk a lot with Kym-Mani King and (Ezeriah) Anderson,” he said. “I talk to a commit who just went there, TJ Tampa. I’m staying in touch trying to hear what’s great about it. Kym-Mani and Ezeriah say that the coaches are going to put you in the best spot for you to help the team. They both did well as freshmen up there and know that they need to stay patient. They know that when I get up there, I’m going to love it.”
Biglow’s frame and ability have made him an intriguing prospect for I-State, given he could play any of the five defensive back positions on the field in a 3-3-5 alignment.
“I know they really love my length and what I could bring to the table,” he said. “I’m a very versatile player and can play safety or corner. “They love me at cornerback, but Coach Heacock knows I’m willing to play either/or for them. They love how much I love the game and how much ball-hawking skill that I have.
“Hearing from Coach Heacock that they play five DBs meant a lot to me, knowing that he can trust us on the field. That’s a big part for me. Just ball instincts and field awareness (set me apart from others). Seeing me on film, they know that I have the knack for being around the ball and have great ball skills. I know where it’s at all times and can read defenses. They know I break down the game.”
If the NCAA allows summer official visits, Biglow said he already has one penciled in for ISU.
“I should be there the weekend of June 12th through the 14th,” he said. “I’m excited to see the campus, dorms, facilities and just how the coaches all are with the players.”
