The first offer for a St. Louis (Mo.) offensive lineman is Iowa State, after a graduate assistant recently extended one to the Class of 2019 prospect.

DeSmet Academy junior Marquise Simmons said he got the offer from graduate assistant Kenny McClendon, who said they’d been looking at the big man for a while.

In addition to his lone offer from ISU, Simmons said he’s hearing from Oklahoma, Kansas, Miami (Ohio), Kansas State and UCF.

The 6-foot-2, 319-pound Simmons said he'd like to take an unofficial visit to Ames in the coming months, but has yet to schedule a date.
