OL Ruckdashel closer to final choice

Apple Valley, Minn., three-star ranked offensive line prospect Ryan Ruckdashel (6-foot-6, 255 pounds) has now made two official visits this off season, and Ruckdashel will finish his official visits this weekend at Michigan State.

"I just got back from Iowa State," Ruckdashel said. "Both of my visits have gone pretty well. I would rate my visit to Minnesota as a 8-9 on a scale of 10, and Iowa State as say a 7-8 on a scale of 10."

Ruckdashel talked in depth about his impressions from his Cyclones visit.

"Friday we had dinner with the recruits and the families, then we had a chance to hang out with the players. Saturday was pretty heavy on academics, and we also had a chance to watch a practice as well as taking several tours. Saturday night we had dinner in the Jacobsen Center and that was a lot of fun. They brought in several video games and everyone just had a real good time. Sunday we had breakfast with the coaches and we also had individual meetings."

Ruckdashel will take one more official visit before making his final college choice.

"I've been pretty solid on all three schools for a long time, and that really hasn't changed. I'm looking at Minnesota, Iowa State and Michigan State. I have an official visit set to Michigan State for January 14th and I'll make my final college choice after that visit."
