Notre Dame flips Wisconsin 2023 offensive lineman

The Irish add one of the Midwests best OL’s

Although the Irish didn’t win on the field last night, they won a recruiting battle against a Big Ten foe. Illinois offensive lineman [autotag]Christopher Terek[/autotag] was committed to Wisconsin, but almost exactly as the Badger were announcing new head coach [autotag]Luke Fickell[/autotag], Terek announced that he was flipping to Notre Dame.

It probably won’t be the last time that [autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag] and his former employer will be vying for a prospect, even though Terek’s pledge to Notre Dame wasn’t really a head-to-head recruiting battle between the two coaches.  The six-foot-five-inch and 320-pound lineman also had offers from Michigan, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri and others before his top to the Irish.

Terek’s now makes the 2023 class “full” with 25 commitments, while joining [autotag]Charles Jagusah[/autotag], [autotag]Sullivan Absher[/ [autotag]Sam Pendleton[/autotag], and [autotag]Joe Otting[/autotag] as the offensive lineman in the group. The Irish collectively still have one of the best class of the recruiting cycle.

Notre Dame offers Wisconsin commit, could a flip be coming?

The Irish spatula is getting ready

For two very consistent programs, Wisconsin and Notre Dame, the 2022 season has not gone according to plan. Both began the season with a number next to their name; each fell out of the rankings after Week 3.

For the Badgers, it’s been a very rocky road. In October, began they parted ways with their head coach Paul Chryst after eight years and a .720 winning percentage. We all know how the Irish’s season has gone. It has been a trying one, but their recruiting hasn’t suffered unlike Wisconsin. Only one Irish player has entered the portal, Jacob Lacey, while Wisconsin has seen four.

Wisconsin’s highest rated commit, offensive lineman [autotag]Christopher Terek[/autotag] might be jumping ship before he even stepped foot in Madison. The Irish made an offer to the six-foot-five-inch and 320-pound lineman recently.

After the Irish had offensive lineman [autotag]Elijah Paige[/autotag] decommit at the end of September, many wondered if [autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag] and offensive line coach [autotag]Harry Hiestand[/autotag] would look to replace him. It seems they have at least one prospect, Terek, in mind and appear to be trying to flip the Badgers’ top commit.

The Wisconsin Badgers picked up a commitment from the No. 46 interior offensive lineman in the class of 2023:

Wisconsin offered Terek back on May 10th and had him for an official visit on campus earlier this month. The Badgers beat out several other Big Ten schools for the three-star recruit including Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota and Iowa.

The Glen Ellyn, Ill., native is ranked as the No. 10 player in Illinois and No. 46 interior offensive lineman in the class of 2024 by 247Sports Composite. Terek is a huge pickup for the Badgers and will provide great interior size for Wisconsin at six-foot-six inches.

Wisconsin lands Crystal Ball Prediction for 2023 IOL Christopher Terek

Wisconsin has landed a new crystal ball projection in the 2023 recruiting class:

On Tuesday, 247Sports writer Evan Flood gave his Crystal Ball Prediction for 2023 interior offensive lineman Christopher Terek out of Glen Ellyn, Illinois, to commit to the University of Wisconsin.

Per the 247Sports composite, Terek is the No. 630 overall prospect in the 2023 recruiting class, the No. 46 IOL in the country, and the No. 15 player in Illinois. 

The 6-foot-6, 295-pound Glenbard West High School standout currently holds offers from Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Boston College, Iowa State, Kentucky, Miami (OH), Minnesota, Missouri, Vanderbilt, Western Michigan, and several other division one schools. 

Terek would make for an impressive addition on the interior for Badgers offensive line coach Bob Bostad.

Expert predictions flipping from Iowa to Wisconsin for 2023 OT Christoper Terek

After several experts previously had crystal ball predictions in for Christopher Terek to Iowa, his projections are flipping to Wisconsin.

What looked promising for an Iowa commitment just four short days ago suddenly looks like it has reversed course in Wisconsin’s favor.

After Sam Webb of TheMichiganInsider and David Eickholt of HawkeyeInsider submitted 247Sports crystal ball predictions for three-star offensive tackle Christopher Terek to Iowa on June 23 and June 24, it’s now a much different picture.

Now, Eickholt and his colleague at HawkeyeInsider, Sean Bock, both have placed crystal ball predictions in for Terek to Wisconsin this afternoon. Badger247‘s Evan Flood followed suit and also has a crystal ball prediction in for Terek to Wisconsin. 247Sports national recruiting analyst Allen Trieu has a crystal ball prediction for Terek to the Badgers as well.

The 6-foot-6, 295 pound offensive tackle out of Glenbard West High School in Glen Ellyn, Ill., is rated by 247Sports as the nation’s No. 56 offensive tackle and the No. 16 player from Illinois.

On3 ranks the Glenbard West High School product as the No. 54 interior offensive lineman and the No. 12 player from Illinois in the 2023 class, while Rivals lists Terek as the No. 53 offensive tackle and the No. 9 player from Illinois.

Iowa has added June commitments from four-star offensive tackle Trevor Lauck of Roncalli High School (Ind.), four-star running back Kendrick Raphael of Naples High School (Fla.), three-star offensive tackle Cannon Leonard of Iroquois West High School (Ill.) and three-star EDGE David Caulker of North High School (Iowa).

If he committed to Iowa, Terek would join a 2023 class that currently includes aforementioned offensive line commits Lauck and Leonard as well as three-star Leighton Jones out of Brownsburg High School (Ind.). The Hawkeyes’ 2023 class currently ranks No. 17 nationally by 247Sports and No. 20 nationally by Rivals.

Included below is a look at Terek’s junior season Hudl tape from Glenbard West High School, his full recruiting profile and Iowa’s full list of 2023 commits.

2023 OT target Christopher Terek picks up pair of 247Sports crystal ball predictions to Iowa Hawkeyes

A pair of 247Sports experts put in crystal ball predictions for three-star offensive tackle Christopher Terek to the Iowa Hawkeyes.

Iowa has some serious momentum on the recruiting trail. After its largest and most important recruiting weekend of the year, the Hawkeyes already picked up a commitment from talented, four-star offensive tackle Trevor Lauck out of Roncalli High School in Indianapolis, Ind.

Lauck’s commitment comes on the heels of fellow June pledges from four-star running back Kendrick Raphael of Naples High School (Fla.), three-star offensive tackle Cannon Leonard of Iroquois West High School (Ill.) and three-star EDGE David Caulker of North High School (Iowa).

These decisions from Caulker, Lauck, Leonard and Raphael bring Iowa’s current commitment total in the 2023 class to a baker’s dozen. According to 247Sports, the Hawkeyes’ 13 commitments comprise the nation’s No. 17 class. Meanwhile, Rivals rates Iowa’s 2023 class No. 18 nationally and On3 ranks the Hawkeyes’ current commits as the No. 29 class.

Across those respective team rankings, Iowa has the Big Ten’s No. 5 class according to 247Sports, the Big Ten’s No. 6 class according to Rivals and the Big Ten’s No. 6 class according to On3.

According to a pair of 247Sports experts, it should be about to get even better. 247Sports’ Sam Webb of TheMichiganInsider and David Eickholt of HawkeyeInsider both submitted crystal ball predictions for three-star offensive tackle Christopher Terek to commit to the Hawkeyes on June 23 and June 24, respectively. On3’s EJ Holland also put in a prediction for Terek to Iowa on June 20.

Terek was on hand this past weekend for Iowa’s big recruiting weekend and he is deciding between Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin. The 6-foot-6, 295 pound offensive tackle is rated by 247Sports as the nation’s No. 56 offensive tackle and the No. 16 player from Illinois.

On3 ranks the Glenbard West High School product as the No. 54 interior offensive lineman and the No. 12 player from Illinois in the 2023 class, while Rivals lists Terek as the No. 53 offensive tackle and the No. 9 player from Illinois.

Included below is a look at Terek’s junior season Hudl tape from Glenbard West High School, his full recruiting profile and Iowa’s full list of 2023 commits.

Trio of experts submit predictions for 5-star OT Kadyn Proctor to commit to Iowa Hawkeyes

Three more recruiting experts submitted predictions for five-star offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor to commit to the Iowa Hawkeyes.

It was already a great weekend for Iowa. After hosting its biggest recruiting weekend of the year, the Hawkeyes picked up a commitment from four-star offensive tackle Trevor Lauck out of Roncalli High School in Indianapolis, Ind.

Lauck represents the third offensive line commit in Iowa’s 2023 class, joining three-star interior offensive lineman Leighton Jones of Brownsburg High School in Indiana and three-star offensive tackle Cannon Leonard of Iroquois West High School in Illinois.

Of course, one of the biggest names in attendance in Iowa City this past weekend was five-star, in-state offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor of Southeast Polk High School. Proctor narrowed his list of potential college choices to Iowa and Alabama a little more than a week ago and added the official visit to the Hawkeyes.

Now more than ever, it seems like just a matter of time before Proctor announces a commitment to Iowa. In the past two days, three more recruiting experts submitted predictions for the 6-foot-7, 330 pound offensive tackle to choose the Hawkeyes.

247Sports’ David Eickholt of HawkeyeInsider joined his colleagues, Parker Thune and Sean Bock, in projecting Proctor to Iowa with a crystal ball prediction yesterday afternoon.

Rivals’ Clint Cosgrove put in a FutureCast for Proctor to the Hawkeyes yesterday afternoon and Josh McCuistion did as well this morning. That pair joins HawkeyeReport publisher Tom Kakert as Rivals experts that are projecting Proctor to Iowa.

If this indeed winds up being the case, the pieces are beginning to fall into place for a historic offensive line class for the Hawkeyes.

According to ESPN, Proctor is a five-star recruit the nation’s No. 6 player overall in the 2023 class, the No. 2 offensive tackle and the top player from Iowa. Rivals also lists Proctor as a five-star prospect, the country’s No. 14 player nationally, the No. 1 offensive tackle and the No. 1 player from Iowa.

247Sports and On3 both have Proctor rated as a four-star recruit. According to 247Sports, the Southeast Polk product is the nation’s No. 7 player overall, the No. 1 offensive tackle and the No. 1 player from Iowa. Meanwhile, On3 ranks Proctor as the No. 31 player nationally, the No. 4 offensive tackle and the top player from Iowa.

The 247Sports composite rankings and the On3 consensus rankings both have Proctor as a five-star recruit. In the 247Sports composite, Proctor is the No. 10 player nationally, the No. 2 offensive tackle and the top player from Iowa. In the On3 consensus rankings, Proctor checks in as the country’s No. 5 player nationally, the No. 1 offensive tackle and the No. 1 player from Iowa.

Included below is a look at some of Proctor’s junior season Hudl tape from Southeast Polk as well as a glimpse at his full recruiting profile and Iowa’s current set of 2023 commits.

Iowa Hawkeyes set for biggest recruiting weekend of the year headlined by big names

The Iowa Hawkeyes have their biggest recruiting weekend of the year as they welcome 22 potential 2023 recruits to campus. Here’s the guests.

This Friday to Sunday will be the biggest and arguably most important recruiting weekend for the Hawkeyes this year. They are welcoming 22 potential recruits to campus that are part of the 2023 class. Of the 22 visiting, nine are committed to the Hawkeyes and 13 still have yet to decide where they will call home next fall.

The group is headlined by five-star tackle Kadyn Proctor, who is rated No. 10 nationally in the 247Sports composite rankings. He has narrowed his recruitment down to Iowa and the Alabama Crimson Tide. This weekend could play a big factor into his decision.

Another important visitor is quarterback commit Marco Lainez III. His presence could be very beneficial to those uncommitted and be a proponent for the Hawkeyes.

Iowa will have many others on campus as well. Let’s get familiar with the cohort descending upon Iowa City this weekend. Included is each recruit’s position, high school, 247Sports rating, and their measurables.

Iowa Hawkeyes offer 3-star 2023 offensive tackle Christopher Terek

The Iowa Hawkeyes offered class of 2023 three-star offensive tackle Christopher Terek out of Glenbard West High School in Illinois.

Iowa is back active in the 2023 class, offering offensive tackle Christopher Terek out of Glenbard West High School in Illinois. The 6-foot-6, 295 pound offensive tackle is regarded as a three-star prospect according to both 247Sports and Rivals.

According to 247Sports, Terek is the nation’s No. 116 offensive tackle and Illinois’ No. 40 player. The 247Sports composite rankings see Terek ranked as the nation’s No. 891 player, No. 79 offensive tackle and No. 21 player from Illinois.

247Sports reports 20 offers for Terek, including nine Power Five offers. In addition to Iowa, Power Five programs Boston College, Duke, Illinois, Iowa State, Kansas, Michigan, Vanderbilt and Wisconsin have offered.

Terek also holds offers from Air Force, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Illinois State, Kent State, Maine, Miami (Ohio), Northern Illinois, South Dakota, Southern Illinois and Western Michigan.

Hawkeye Nation’s Rob Howe caught up with Terek to discuss his offer from Iowa. Terek impressed at the Hawkeyes’ summer camp last year, but there were concerns about his weight. When Iowa offensive line coach George Barnett got a look at him during Tuesday’s workout, he saw a player that had trimmed down from 352 to 295 pounds. Combined with his impressive showing last summer, it was enough to convince the Iowa staff to extend the offer.

The Hawkeyes currently possess the nation’s No. 15 class according to 247Sports and ESPN, the No. 18 class according to Rivals, the No. 24 class according to On3. The class currently includes quarterback Marco Lainez III, defensive end and EDGE Chase Brackney, athlete Alex Mota, linebacker Ben Kueter, offensive lineman Leighton Jones, defensive back John Nestor and defensive lineman Maddux Borcherding-Johnson.

Adding Terek to pair with Jones along the offensive line would be terrific news for the Hawkeyes. HawkeyeReport’s Tom Kakert and Blair Sanderson believe that will be the case. The pair of Iowa reporters for Rivals both issued FutureCasts for Terek to land with the Hawkeyes.

Here’s a look at Terek’s junior season Hudl highlights from Glenbard West High School.
