Former Ferris State All-American lineman Bryce George commits to Iowa

Former Ferris State University offensive lineman Bryce George has officially made the jump to Division I.

The 6-foot-5, 314-pound offensive lineman officially committed to the University of Iowa on Friday over offers from USC and California. George made 41 appearances, including 38 starts at Ferris State the past three seasons and helped anchor an offensive line that averaged 45 points per game on its way to a third Division II national championship in four seasons.

George earned first team All-American honors from the Division II Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA), as well as being selected to the Associated Press All-America Second Team.

The former Detroit Edison Public School Academy product will have one year of eligibility left at the college level and joins an Iowa offensive line group that returns three starters in center Logan Jones, left guard Beau Stephens and right tackle Gennings Dunker.

George, who was rated a 3-star transfer portal prospect, is expected to compete for playing time with the Hawkeyes, who averaged 5.12 yards per carry last season, which ranked third in the Big Ten Conference.

The Ferris State football program will be looking to replace five offensive linemen this offseason after the departure of George and Lawrence Hattar, who transferred to Michigan, as well as All-American linemen Tim and Bob Anderson, and Jarvis Windom.

Earlier this week, former Ferris State quarterback Trinidad Chambliss committed to Ole Miss after earning All-American honors this past season with the Bulldogs. Standout standout Kannon Katzer has also earned the transfer portal with two years of eligibility left and is currently being recruited by multiple Big Ten schools, including Michigan State.

The Bulldogs defense will also have to replace some key production as defensive back Jacarvis Alexandre committed to Jacksonville State University on Friday, while linebacker Sefa Saipaia committed to Bowling Green earlier this week and defensive back Major Dedmon remains in the NCAA transfer portal as a graduate transfer.
