Analysis

Colby was a hot commodity during his junior season at Cedar Rapids Kennedy, with offers from Big Ten schools Ohio State, Michigan, Minnesota, Michigan State and Nebraska. But he was an early commitment to the Hawkeyes, the second player to join their 2021 class.

He’s a strong lineman who’s shown tremendous growth over his high school career. Really solid in both pass protection and run blocking. Colby, along with Davidkov, is another highly touted OL recruit who’s poised to fit in with Iowa’s traditional powerhouse blocker production.
