We have confirmed, via Coach Mike Pendino, that the Sioux have received a verbal commitment from a Minneapolis metro athlete.  Dayo Idowu of East Ridge High School in Woodbury, MN is the latest athlete to commit to UND.  

Rumors

Idowu, 6′-1″ – 190, played QB for East Ridge High this year but we feel he will end up on the defensive side of the ball in college, possibly at OLB or Safety.  He would definitely fall in the category of “athlete”.  Coach Pendino stated, “Dayo is a great athlete, runs well, and very physical. I think he will be a very good safety that can run the alley, invert if need be and cover”. 

Idowu led the fledgling school from an inaugural 0-9 season to a 7-3 record in only their second season of football.  He is also a very good basketball player for the Raptors.
