Iowa City West linebacker Donovan Doyle
On Iowa
"I'm obviously very interested in Iowa as a football school due to my close ties. I have the greatest respect for their program and I went on their junior day visit in March. I am hoping to get an opportunity to play there but first I have to take care of business this upcoming year and help my team have success."
College camps
"It really depends on where I want to play football or if I want to wrestle in college. I love doing both but I'll have to make my mind up at some points. I'll be visiting Harvard and Brown both for football and wrestling. I have a good ACT score and I just took the SAT this weekend so we'll see."
College visits
"No, not really. I was just training and wrestling on the weekends."
A sporting lean
"I am just keeping my options open."
Coaches visiting the school
"Iowa State and Drake."
Coaches messaging him
"I think it was Augustana in South Dakota, NIU, and I don’t remember all of them. It was basically right after the wrestling season."
Wrestling recruiting
"Air Force, Stanford, Harvard, Brown and that is about it. For wrestling, I have it narrowed down unless someone shows me a lot of interest."
