Recruiting Plot Thickens as a Trio of New Offers Enter McIvor's Fray

SAN ANGELO, TX-- Central quarterback Maverick McIvor picked up a pair of scholarship offers over the weekend.

The first of the two came on Saturday when the University of Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns offered Central’s signal caller. The second came from the Iowa Hawkeyes of the Big Ten Conference on Sunday. The Arizona State Sun Devils came calling after Central's spring practice on Monday morning

The offers were the 11th,12th and 13th for the 6-foot-3 gunslinger. Iowa became the second Big Ten school to offer McIvor after the Minnesota Golden Gophers came calling earlier in the spring. Arizona State is the second school from the Pac-12 Conference to make a formal offer to the soon-to-be senior. Washington State was the first Power Five school to offer McIvor back in late February.

The Hawkeyes went 8-5 last season with a 27-20 win over Boston College in the New ERA Pinstripe Bowl. Arizona State went 7-6 in 2017 after losing in the Hyundai Sun Bowl in El Paso. Louisiana-Lafayette, who is in the Sun Belt Conference with Texas State, just missed out on a bowl game with a 5-7 overall record in 2017.

Right now, according to 24/7 Sports, Minnesota and Texas Tech are the only two offers listed as “warm” interests for the son of former Texas Longhorn Rick McIvor.

With Texas Tech being the de facto home team for the west Texas region, they are likely favorites for Central’s QB1, who posted video game-like numbers in 2017.

Along with Tech, Minnesota, the Ragin’ Cajuns, Iowa and Wazzu, McIvor has received offers from Boise State, Bowling Green, Colorado State, North Carolina, North Texas, Ole Miss and the University of Texas-El Paso.

Other big name schools such as Ohio State and Notre Dame have trekked to west Texas to scout McIvor and the Bobcats during their spring practices.
