Iowa QB commit Deuce Hogan plans to give Ohio State headaches
Iowa Hawkeyes football quarterback commit Deuce Hogan is not slated to join the program until 2020, but he is already sending jabs at one of the Big Ten conference's perennial contenders.
Hogan specifically has his eyes set on tormenting the Ohio State Buckeyes once he steps on the field at Iowa.
“It’s going to be a mind game," Hogan told AllHawkeyes.com. "I’m going to make the defensive coordinator at Ohio State pull his hair out. I’m going to enjoy it, that’s what I’m going to do. I love the whole chess game of it. The Iowa system is going to fit great and it’s going to translate to the next level for me. They’re going to get a pro-style quarterback and definitely somebody that’s going to win football games.”
Hogan will certainly get his chance to take down Ohio State during his Iowa career. The teams are scheduled to face each other in 2020, 2022 and, if Hogan is still on campus by then, 2025. The Big Ten foes last played at Kinnick Stadium in 2017, when the Hawkeyes blew out the Buckeyes 55-24. The defeat essentially kept Ohio State out of the College Football Playoff, as the Buckeyes finished fifth in the final playoff rankings.
Hogan is confident that he will be successful against anyone that stands in Iowa's way.
“For me it’s a lot more team oriented,” Hogan said about his goals. “Personally, I want to play in the NFL, that’s what it is and they’re a translatable system. My personal goal is to do what I need to do to get to the next level, then Big Ten records, Iowa records, that would be great. Heisman Trophy, Davey O’Brien, that’s what I dream about. But I want to go, I want to win the Big Ten championship and get the opportunity to get to play in the College Football Playoff. There’s going to be big dogs we’re going to have to get through.
“I said I was a winner, but it’s very rare that I have the best team. We won the state title my freshman year and that team was truly great. But a lot of the times while I’ve grown up, the odds are not always in my favor. There’s nothing better than stepping into a hostile environment where you’re the underdog and coming out on top. That’s what I intend to do, win championships.”
As a junior in 2018, Hogan threw for 1,514 yards, 18 touchdowns, and six interceptions in 11 games. He will be a four-year varsity starter for Grapevine Faith Christian School (Texas). Entering his senior season, Hogan has thrown for 5,837 yards, 70 touchdowns, and 26 interceptions.
The industry-generated 247Sports Composite rates Hogan as a three-star prospect. He is ranked No. 18 nationally among 2020 pro-style quarterbacks and No. 60 overall regardless of position in the state of Texas. Hogan originally committed in late June 2018 to the Hawkeyes, who have 10 pledges for the 2020 class. Iowa is ranked No. 15 nationally on the 247Sports Composite team recruiting rankings for the 2020 cycle.
