The Oakdale (CT) St. Thomas More prospect has also set official visits to both Washington State and Temple, according to his X account. His other offers include the likes of Texas A&M, Florida State, Michigan, USC, and Washington, among others.

Here is a scouting report on him via 247Sports:

Iddrissu is an intriguing young prospect who has only played one year of high school football. He was originally a basketball player but his future is on the grid-iron. At 6-6, 240 pounds, he’s one of the longest prospects in the region with a wingspan nearly 85”. He’s still learning the game and plays mostly as a standup edge rusher who crashes inside and finds the football. He plays high and needs a lot of work from a technique standpoint but plays hard, shows a motor and a strong off the field work ethic. He needs to continue to work hard in the weight room to get stronger, especially in his lower half to be more stout in the run game. This upcoming senior year will be big for Iddrissu in his development and the hope is he makes a big jump in terms of his ability to read/react, play fast and dominate with the physical tools he possesses. He’s being recruited at the high Power 4 level based on the traits but he’ll need a program to be patient with him before he’s ready for extensive game action.
