Football Bio:
HIGH SCHOOL: Prepped at Mediapolis under head coach Brian Borrison... Named the Iowa Gatorade Player of the Year in 2012... An Honorable Mention All-American selection by Parade... Broke the Iowa high school state record for career touchdowns (98) and ranked fifth in state history in career passing yardage (7,317)... Registered over 9,000 total yards and 130 touchdowns in his prep career... Named the 2012 Offensive Player of the Year as well as a first team all-state selection by Iowa Preps after leading Mediapolis to a state runner-up finish and a 13-1 record... Honored as the All-Hawkeye Player of the Year... A two-time Des Moines Register and Iowa Newspaper Association First Team All-State honoree... Twice named to the all-district first team as well as the district’s 2012 MVP... Was named to the Iowa Sports Connection’s First Team All-State squad in 2011... Named the All-Hawkeye Co-Offensive Player of the Year as a junior... An Iowa Preps Elite Second Team All-State selection as a junior... A three-year letter winner in basketball... A first team all-conference selection and a second team all-state performer by the Iowa Newspaper Association in 2012... A first team all-conference and a third team all-state performer as a sophomore... Also a three-year letter winner in track... Won a state championship in the 4x100 in 2012.
This seems like a kid who, with 2 years in the system could be pretty damn good with Snyder and Dimel at the helm. While many on here are calling for Delton, I doubt he knows the system as well, and I am really curious if in game situations his athletic ability would really stand out THAT MUCH MORE than Eritz. Ertz Bio reads pretty damn good to me.
It sounds as if Ertz will get the nod to start the season, (maybe he won't, nobody knows for sure) but he plays as well as he showed in HS he could grab this job and keep it for 3 years. I know that would be a disappointment for many on here but that could be reality.
I love Kansas kids as much as the next person on here, but it feels like perhaps that weighs bigger for some than others, on why they would like to see Delton start.
