John Waggoner, a 4-star defensive end hailing from West Des Moines, Iowa, announced Tuesday he will suit up for the Iowa Hawkeyes when the 2018 college football season starts.
Waggoner made his decision official on Twitter:
Waggoner didn't garner the same attention as top defensive end prospects in states that are conventional recruiting hotbeds, but he rose up the ranks in impressive fashion to solidify himself as a coveted pass-rusher.
According to 247Sports' composite rankings, Waggoner is the 20th-ranked weak-side defensive end and 347th-ranked player overall among 2018 recruits. He's also the top prospect at his position among players in Iowa.
