football. I like this signing. If he's good then that could allow Blythe to remain at guard.

His tape is pretty awesome. He plays through the whistle and dominates.

Walk on or Scholly? Would assume Scholly but list an Iowa offer on Scout.

He looks like the angry sumo center to me. Thats good!
Moves his feet well and keeps finding guys to block. Many plays he was chipping AND get his assignment. IMO this signals that KF likes what he has been getting from Blythe where he is at and has changed plans for him.

So Simmons can redshirt,then compete to start at center in 2013-14? I agree that if we can keep Jordan Walsh and Blythe at guard,with Simmons at center, it could be a very solid inside group.

Marshal Yanda will forever serve as an example of juco linemen that can play at Iowa and beyond.

Yeah, he's got 4 years to play 3.. a lot of time to work with there.

Depending on his size he could compete immediately.

Good pickup. I don't think this is a reflection on the uncommitted tackles either. You don't sign a center as a fall back recruit for a tackle.

No I think it is a sign for the guards. Not sure if Kozan or OConnor were guards or tackles. I think they could play both, but if Iowa had them slated at guard, which is what you hear Kozan referred to as, then maybe it's a case of this. However, I still have high hopes for Kozan.
