Noah Daniel had every intention of continuing his football career at South Dakota State following his upcoming season on the gridiron at Fort Dodge Senior High.
That was until the Iowa Hawkeyes came calling.
Daniel has accepted a preferred walk-on opportunity with Iowa, he confirmed on social media. The multi-sport athlete will be a senior this coming year.
"I want to thank my family, friends, coaches and teammates for their support throughout this process," Daniel posted. "Also very thankful to SDSU and their coaching staff for everything they have done. With that being said I am extremely blessed and excited to announce my commitment to further my education and football career at the University of Iowa.
"I want to thank Iowa's coaching staff for believing in me, and giving me a shot to play for my dream school. Above all, I'm thankful to God for blessing me with the chance to compete at the next level and knowing none of this would be possible without Him."
