Azubuike adds Hawkeye offer

Three weeks ago, Class of 2019 prospect Isaiah Azubuike attended Iowa's junior day with some of his teammates from St. Louis Lutheran North High School. On Saturday, the 5-foot-11, 195-pound Azubuike heard back from the Hawkeye coaching staff with news of a scholarship offer.

"My high school coach, Carl Reed, called me and told me that Iowa offered," said Azubuike. "He told me to call Iowa coach LeVar Woods."

"When I called, it went really well," he continued. "I really like Coach Woods' energy."

On March 5, Azubuike visited Iowa City with a group that included teammates Ronnie Perkins, Devin Ruffin, Donovan Marshall, and Traevon Williams. The trip left a favorable impression on the 2019 prospect, who has been watching the Hawkeyes from afar for a couple years now.

"I've always thought they had good football program, so it's nice to see how they believe I can make a positive impact on it," Azubuike said.

Overall, Iowa is offer No. 8 for Azubuike as the Hawkeyes join Iowa State, Kansas State, Syracuse, Bowling Green, Northern Illinois, Central Michigan, and Dartmouth on his list.

Currently, the 5-foot-11, 195-pounder is receiving interest from schools on both sides of the ball and could play outside linebacker or running back in college.

As a sophomore, Azubuike finished the season with 37 tackles, 10 TFL, and one interception on defense to go along with 57 carries for 490 yards and 11 touchdowns on offense.
