The 6-foot-4, 256-pound Caulker accepted on the spot and officially announced his verbal commitment to the Iowa coaching staff today.<\/p>\n<p>A three-star prospect, Caulker chose Iowa over scholarship offers from Iowa State, Nebraska, Minnesota, Missouri, Kent State, Northern Illinois, and Northern Iowa.<\/p>\n<p>As a junior, Caulker finished last season with 21.5 tackles, 12.5 TFL, and 4.5 sacks and is equally impressive off the field according to Des Moines North head coach Eric Addy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He is a great young man,&#8221; said Addy.  &#8220;Hands down, the best teammate I&#8217;ve ever coached. Extremely coachable, physical, and has a relentless pursuit to the ball. He shows up every day wanting to learn and get better.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With a 6-foot-11 wing span, Caulker brings the kind of length that Iowa defensive line coach Kelvin Bell loves to utilize upfront for the Hawkeyes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;His obvious size and length make him a nightmare for offenses, but it&#8217;s the things you can&#8217;t measure that make David special,&#8221; Addy said.  &#8220;It couldn&#8217;t happen to a better young man. He&#8217;s worked hard for this opportunity and I&#8217;m so happy to see him making his dreams of him come true.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Caulker is commitment No. 10 for Iowa, joining Marco Lainez, Alex Mota, Maddux Borcherding-Johnson, Chase Brackney, Leighton Jones, Ben Kueter, John Nestor, Zach Lutmer, and Aidan Hall in the Class of 2023 for the Hawkeyes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>See highlights from Caulker in his junior year at Des Moines North in the video below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After an impressive performance at Iowa&#8217;s camp Sunday, Des Moines North defensive end David Caulker earned a scholarship offer from the Hawkeyes and quickly took them up on it.
