Q&A with Dowling Catholic quarterback Dante Cataldo
Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“I absolutely want to continue to play football beyond high school and I am working every day to help myself get that opportunity.”
What colleges have been recruiting you?
“I spent the last summer competing at different camps. I had some introductory talks with Iowa State, Western Michigan, Louisiana Tech, North Dakota State, Eastern Michigan to name a few.”
What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“I have been in a unique situation the past year or two. Playing behind the #1 QB in the state of Iowa didn't afford me a ton of playing time even though I felt confident I could lead our team. So, I know I am a little behind in my recruitment. But as I mentioned I've had introductory discussions with a few schools and plan to get out to many different camps this summer.”
Have you made any college trips yet?
“No unofficial college visits as of yet. However I attended camps at UNI, Iowa State, Iowa, Kansas State, Western Michigan, and the Lindenwood Mega Camp.”
Do you have plans for any trips soon?
“I am looking into certain camps this summer, but I am open to schools that show interest in me.”
Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“My dad played baseball at the University of Iowa and my mom was on the dance team there as well, so I grew up going to Iowa games. But most of my recent years have been up at Iowa State. It’s fun watching Iowa State football and I admire the culture Coach Campbell has built and the way they play the game.”
