The Iowa Hawkeyes picked up another offensive lineman today. Andrew Donnal verbally committed to play for the Hawkeyes and is the tenth player to do so for the 2010 class. Donnal is a highly ranked offensive tackle out of Whitehouse, Ohio. His 4 star rating on Rivals is better than any of the other Iowa commits thus far for 2010.

High School:
Andrew Donnal attends Anthony Wayne High School. In 2008, the Generals went 5-5 in the Northern Lakes League. The pinnacle moment of the season was an astounding 5 overtime game against the Clay Eagles that the Generals ended up winning.

As a junior Donnal played tackle on offense and defense. It was his second year starting at offensive tackle and his play earned him First Team All-Conference honors. I couldn't find any meaningful statistics on Donnal's play, but found that he ran a 4.91 forty at the Ohio State junior camp this summer. That is pretty quick for a 6'7" 280 pound lineman. In his highlight video you can see his quickness and strength on both sides of the ball. On offense he was an absolute force as a run blocker. He consistently pushed back the defender 5 yards off the line of scrimmage leaving the running back big wholes. On defense he often was in the backfield knocking down passes or getting the sack. He even blocked a couple of kicks.

Donnal has also been a standout as a center in basketball and in the shot put and discus on the track team.
