5-star offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor locks in official visits, Iowa isn’t included
Kadyn Proctor, one of the top prospects in the nation, locked in five visits, and Iowa is not on the list.
Despite ranking as 247Sports’ crystal ball leader for Proctor, Iowa will not receive an official visit from the Southeastern Polk offensive tackle out of Des Moines, Iowa. Per 247Sports’ Sean Bock, while Iowa isn’t on his official visit list, do not count the Hawkeyes out just yet.
Iowa, the 247Sports Crystal Ball leader for Proctor, will not get an official visit from Proctor at this point, but the Hawkeyes do still remain heavily in the mix as Proctor has made countless trips to Iowa City during his recruitment. – Bock, 247Sports.
While he does not have an official visit to Iowa City scheduled, he will be visiting Arkansas State June 3-5, Alabama June 10-12, Penn State June 17-19, and Oregon June 24-26. Proctor does have an official visit scheduled with fellow Big Ten rival Michigan September 3-5.
While Proctor has had unofficial visits with Alabama, Oregon, and Michigan thus far, this is really the first we’re seeing of Arkansas State and Penn State in the race.
Proctor is a five-star offensive tackle in the 247Sports composite rankings and according to both ESPN and Rivals. He’s a consensus top-five offensive tackle across all of the major recruiting outlets and is regarded as the No. 1 offensive tackle by 247Sports and Rivals. Proctor has received comparisons to San Francisco 49ers lineman Trent Williams. According to Proctor’s conversation with Bock, he expects to make his decision in August.
“I think I probably want to do it in August at my school, have a couple people come through and it will be open to the public, whoever wants to come. I want everybody to be there. I’ll probably do that in August so before the season, get it over with and try to play my season and win another championship with my team,” Proctor said.
Iowa fans shouldn’t hit the panic button just yet, but this is certainly a development to keep an eye on. Iowa has made a big impression on Proctor so far, and the interest is mutual as Iowa in Proctor’s top seven schools. The others that made the cut in Proctor’s top seven include Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Notre Dame, Oregon and Penn State.
Iowa’s strong offensive line lineage and style of play benefit greatly to potentially earning Proctor’s signature. However, it should be noted that both Alabama and Michigan routinely produce fantastic offensive linemen.
