Running back Nathan McNeil has made his college decision. The 5-foot-11, 195-pound Tampa native announced his verbal commitment to the Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday night one week after visiting campus.

“My decision came mostly down to how Coach Betts has developed players already and how he can develop me to become a better player,” said McNeil. “I also like the culture, the fans, and the environment of Iowa. The fans have been showing me a lot of love even in Tampa with people asking me for pictures.”

McNeil, who is having a good senior year at Wiregrass Ranch High School in Florida, chose Iowa over scholarship offers from Arkansas State and Rhode Island. The Class of 2025 prospect also had interest from Northwestern, Michigan State, Houston, and Iowa State.

As a senior this season, McNeil has 80 carries for 583 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground and 16 catches for 395 yards and five touchdowns receiving through nine games for Wiregrass Ranch.
