Seeing is believing for DB
Seeing is believing. After saying in late December that he was likely heading to TCU and not to the Big 10, one of Dallas's top sleeper prospects had a change of heart and mind after seeing what the Iowa Hawkeyes did to the LSU Tigers.
"I had Iowa crossed off my list," Garland (Texas) Naaman Forest two-star safety Justin Edwards said. "But I went down to Orlando for the week and watched the game yesterday. That was all I needed to see. Iowa is the right place for me. I'm going to be a Hawkeye. That's where I'm committed to."

Edwards, who is 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds, visited Iowa City back on December 17. He also visited Kansas and TCU and had offers from all of those teams, along with offers from Baylor, SMU and Tulsa.
"I was looking for a family environment, a place where I can get a good degree, and also somewhere that will give me a chance to play," he said. "That place is Iowa."
Iowa has been in consistent contact with Edwards during the recruiting process and was looking at him possibly at corner or free safety.
