Waukee Northwest offensive lineman Cael Winter has made his college decision. The 6-foot-3, 250-pound Winter is going to join the Iowa Hawkeyes as a preferred walk-on in 2023.

"I’m super excited about the opportunity," said Winter. "Iowa felt like a place that was a great fit for me and Iowa has a history of doing big things with walk-ons and kids from Iowa."

Winter chose the opportunity at Iowa over Division II scholarship offers from Winona State and Pittsburg State.

An accomplished wrestler and thrower in track, Winter finished his senior year of football with 21 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and 5.5 sacks for Waukee Northwest.
