Iowa Football: 5 early signees who’ll have instant impact in 2019

A player that could see some playing time more-so on special teams rather than defense is three-star linebacker Yahweh Jeudy.

Jeudy was a late flip as he was a verbal commit to Kansas State since the 4th of July in 2018. However, things changed when Iowa offered Jeudy a scholarship on Dec. 10, following his official visit on the 14th, Jeudy flipped his commitment from Kansas State to Iowa on December 18th and signed his letter of intent this morning.

Jeudy is a very raw prospect at outside linebacker, but there are a lot of things to be impressed with. One such thing I noticed was his ability to have inside-out pursuit on defense, which is crucial for any linebacker. Jeudy also does a great job of staying with the play down the line and never fully sells out backside on a play. His speed could make him a special teams headhunter as a freshman.
