The Iowa football team has its next quarterback, as three-star QB Alex Padilla from Cherry Greenwood Village, CO., announced his commitment to the Hawkeyes this afternoon:
Listed at 6-2, 195 lbs, Padilla has decent but not great size.
Projected as a pro-style QB by rivals, Padilla had offers from a handful of Ivy League schools in addition to Boise State, Oregon State, Central Michigan and Colorado State.
As a junior at Cherry Creek high school, Padilla completed 68 percent of his passes for 2,678 yards, compiling 40 touchdowns through the air and another two on the ground.
