OL Ruckdashel talks recruiting

Apple Valley, Minn. offensive line prospect Ryan Ruckdashel (6-foot-6, 255 pounds) has been staying busy this fall, as Ruckdashel and Eastview High are currently 2-3 on the season.

"We're 2-3 so far this season," Ryan Ruckdashel said. "It's been an up and down season so far, but we're hoping to finish the rest of the season strong this year."

Ruckdashel still has two favorite schools, and plans to make official visits to both schools.

"I still like Minnesota and Michigan State as my two favorites. I'm still hearing weekly from both of those schools plus Iowa State, Ball State, Northern Illinois, Wyoming and Clemson. I have an official visit set to Minnesota on December 3rd. I've been to basically every Gopher home game this season, so I've gotten a good change to see the football program up close and a chance to talk to the coaches quite a bit."

"I'm hoping to get to Michigan State later this season for a game, and I'm not sure if that might be an official visit or not. I'm still trying to get that sorted out, and if that's not an official visit, I might take an official visit to Michigan State sometime in mid-December."

Ruckdashel will need to change gears quickly after his football season is completed.

"I also wrestle for my school, so once football season is over with I'll start wrestling right away. Football is no question my priority and making my visits is important, but I'll also need to plan any visits around my wrestling season."
