Linderbaum commits to Iowa
Solon native Tyler Linderbaum has made his college decision. The 6-foot-2, 255-pound defensive tackle announced his verbal commitment to the Iowa Hawkeyes this morning.
A three-star prospect, Linderbaum chose the Hawkeyes over scholarship offers from Iowa State and Minnesota State.
"I enjoy being around the coaches and players," said Linderbaum. "It felt like the best fit for me."
Linderbaum is the fifth commitment for the Iowa coaching staff in the Class of 2018, joining Jeff Jenkins, Dillon Doyle, Henry Geil, and Tyrone Tracy Jr.
As a junior, Linderbaum had 57 tackles, seven TFL, and three sacks for Solon this past year, leading the team to a 9-2 record.
Also an accomplished wrestler, Linderbaum finished fifth at heavyweight in Class 2A this winter with a 57-12 record.
