Woodbury Central quarterback Jase Manker

Have you made any college trips yet?

Ankeny safety Cael Boyd
Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“Yes, I want to play sports in college. I’d much rather play baseball in college than football but I’m still open to every outcome and if an offer comes along that I like better than another, I’ll definitely consider playing football.”
What colleges have been recruiting you?
“For football, I haven’t much interest honestly. Maybe that’ll change after my senior season, who knows. For baseball, I’ve had interest from a few out of state schools including Nebraska among others.
Have you made any college trips yet?
“No, I currently have not made any official visits yet. I plan to hopefully take some after this upcoming baseball season.”
Do you have plans for more trips soon?
“If the opportunity arises to take a visit earlier, it would definitely be hard to say no to that.”
Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“Both of my parents were Iowa State alumni, so I definitely grew up being a big ISU fan. I’d say now though, I’m more of an Iowa fan just because of the relationships I’ve made with some of the baseball coaches and the beauty of the campus.”
