The 6-foot-2, 175-pound athlete is starting to gain some steam on the recruiting trail and hit double-digit scholarship offers when the Orange rewarded him with the opportunity to reunite with his former teammate on Wednesday morning.

The rising senior anointed Iowa as his early leader when Scout spoke with him a couple of weeks ago. After registering some additional offers, do the Hawkeyes still have the slight advantage in his recruitment? "Yeah, I can say that," Drayton said.
