After finally settling on a home Iowa center Trevin Jirek is preparing for his freshman season. The 6-10 Jirek led West Des Moines Valley to three straight state titles and originally signed with UNI. He changed his mind after Ben McCollum was named the new Hawkeye coach.

Jirek says he needed to start the process before he could speak to McCollum.

After getting his release from UNI Jirek reached out to McCollum.

McCollum tried to recruit Jirek while he was at Drake.
