also Georgia Tech, Boston College, Nebraska, Louisville and Indiana...one of nation's top linebackers to commit to play for hawkeyes!!!
Indiana prep to commit to Iowa
It appears as if the Iowa football program has beaten Purdue for the second time in a week.
Two days after the Hawkeyes beat the Boilermakers on the football field, they apparently have also won a recruiting battle against Purdue.
A.J. Edds is scheduled to announce his college plans at a press conference this afternoon. Recruiting analyst Tom Lemming said the 6-foot-4, 220-pound prospect from Greenwood, Ind., has selected the Hawkeyes over the Boilermakers.
"He's a great athlete," Lemming said. "He's the kind of guy that Iowa, who has a great coaching staff, can really get and turn around and make into a fantastic player."
Edds said last month that the Hawkeyes are recruiting him to play tight end. He also plays linebacker and is ranked as the No. 18 inside linebacker in the country by rivals.com.
"What you see on film is sort of a tall, rangy, instinctive linebacker," Lemming said. "He makes plays, and that's what I really like. He's a guy who's always around the ball, not just every now and then."
Edds also considered scholarship offers from Georgia Tech, Boston College, Nebraska, Louisville and Indiana, among others.
Lemming said he thinks it will "haunt" Notre Dame in the future for not pursuing Edds more heavily.
"He wanted to go to Notre Dame, but they didn't really zoom in on him even though they took his cousin and best friend, Luke Schmidt," Lemming said. "Notre Dame came back on (Edds) later, but it was too late, obviously. He wanted to go to a school that really wanted him, which is smart."
