Iowa State got its quarterback of the future, and a good one at that, in Re-al Mitchell, out of heralded high school football factory St. John Bosco (California). The Cyclones offered Mitchell early over a year ago, and he verbally committed in May.
Albeit his smaller stature (5-10), if the dual-threat quarterback were a few inches taller he would have garnered dozens of more Power-5 offers. With that being said, the 3-star prospect chose the Cyclones over Arizona, Illinois, Kansas State, Northwestern, Rutgers, South Carolina, and Utah.
The number 25 dual-threat quarterback is the 8th highest ranked recruit in the class, and threw for over 2900 yards in 2016, along with 1000 rushing yards.
