One of the top Iowa high school football prospects in the state continues to garner the attention of college football programs around the country.

Landon Blum, a junior at Woodbine High School, received an offer from the University of Miami on Wednesday.

Blum, who helped lead the Tigers to the 2025 Iowa high school football eight-player state championship game, also holds offers from 11 other schools including Iowa, Illinois, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Maryland, Michigan State, Minnesota, Northwestern, Vanderbilt and Wisconsin.

The 6-foot-4, 200-pound Blum is a multi-sport standout for Woodbine, as he was part of the basketball team that reached the Class 1A Iowa high school state basketball tournament last winter.
