Riley McMinn is In | Iowa Hawkeyes Receive 10th Commitment

Posted July 14, 2010 by iowah0_admin under under Recruiting

Riley McMinn of Rochester High School (Illinois) became the 10th verbal commitment for the Iowa Hawkeyes last weekend, Hawkeye Insider reported.

McMinn is a 6-foot-7, 220 pound DE. He’s ranked three stars by both Scout and Rivals.

If he bulks up over his senior year and his first years of college, we could soon see a monster breathing down the necks of Big Ten quarterbacks. Once McMinn is officially a Hawkeye, he will have two inches on the next biggest defensive players–d-linemen Christian Ballard, Carl Davis and Mike Hardy–who are all 6-foot-5.

Can’t wait to see how this young man develops.

According to HI, McMinn took the Hawkeyes over Boston College and offers from a plethora of teams, including several Big Ten foes.

Also of note is that McMinn is only the second commit who plays defense.
