Asa Newsom (b. Jan. 7, 2005) is a speedy, tough young linebacker with good awareness from Waverly-Shell Rock High School in Iowa who plans on majoring in psychology.
He did not arrive on campus until fall camp but is already raising some eyebrows, being one of three true freshman that Chris Klieman highlighted during Tuesday’s press conference.
That said, I still expect him to redshirt in 2023 barring injuries, as we are deep at linebacker.
Newsom prepped under head coach Mark Hubbard at WSRHS, where he was ranked No.
