IU Football receives 15th commitment

Though perhaps overshadowed by the commitment of quarterback Gunner Kiel days earlier, Jason Spriggs become the 15th member of the IU 2012 football recruiting class Thursday.

Spriggs plays for Concord Community High School in Elkhart, Ind.

Listed at 6-foot-7-inches and 257 pounds by Rivals.com, Spriggs is listed as a tight end but could potentially grow into a position on the offensive line.

Rated as a two-star prospect according to Rivals, he also received offers from six schools in the Mid-American Conference. IU was the only major conference school to offer him a scholarship.

IU‘s class of 15 recruits currently ranks 38th nationally according to Rivals. Kiel, wide receiver Kevin Davis and linebacker Nick Mangieri lead the class.
