Per Marcus:
In the crowd at Saturday's Floyd of Rosedale rivalry game at Kinnick Stadium will be a talented tight end from nearby Des Moines, snubbed by the Hawkeyes and rooting for the Gophers.
Three-star Class of 2024 Gophers recruit Jacob Simpson from Johnston High had seven Power Five scholarship offers after showcasing his pass-catching prowess at camps in the spring.
Iowa and Iowa State basically ignored him. The 6-5, 215-pound senior had offers from Missouri, Texas Tech, Illinois, Duke and others, but Simpson announced his commitment to play for P.J. Fleck after visiting Minnesota this summer.
"For some reason, Iowa kind of gave up on him," Johnston coach Brian Woodley said. "He went on some unofficial visits. I was shocked they didn't put more effort into bringing him to Iowa City."
