Nick DeJong - 6’ 6” 240 - DL - Pella IA
Commits to Iowa as a preferred walk-on.
Was (is?) a 2019 NDSU offer.
Had many offers, including SDSU, South Dakota, Northern Iowa, Illinois State, Western Illinois, Fighting Hawks.
Zack Pelland - DE - 6’ 4” 250 - Gurnee IL (Warren Township)
Commits to Colgate.
Had a 2019 offer from NDSU until the Bison got commits from other DL.
Had many offers, including from South Dakota, Lafayette, Illinois State, Western Illinois, Southern Illinois, Air Force, Army, among others.
Seeing that we have 24 graduating seniors but one is likely coming back (Dimitri Williams) so 23 total. Of those 23 I don't know how may scholarships are leaving but I imagine 20-21. Effertz and Bennot were PWOs I believe but I don't recall if Bachmeier was. I know you can do partial scholarships as well but man the other 20 seem like full scholarship guys.
Anyway, what I am getting at is we already have 25 verbals. Just wondering how many actual scholarship offers out there are still valid. Our verbal P/K Crosa is listed as PWO but not sure on the others on the summary thread. Imagine there are a handful, or at least some partials.
I am just thinking out loud. Anyway have any more insight on this?

Hail the BISON!!!
2018 recruiting class WR Kenneth Channelle leaving might add an available scholarship.
Might help explain multiple offers out to smaller playmakers on offense.
