Son of a Cyclone, Van Sloten will take time considering Hawks’ offer

I had a chance to catch up with Decorah (Iowa) senior-to-be Brett Van Sloten, the latest instate prospect to land a scholarship offer from the Iowa coaching staff. Van Sloten, a 6-foot-7, 255-pounder who plays tight end and defensive tackle, was offered a scholarship Wednesday night, two days after West Des Moines Valley offensive tackle David Barrent de-committed in favor of Michigan State.

On paper, Van Sloten is no Barrent, the 6-8, 295-pounder who is rated a 4-star prospect, the No. 7 tackle in the nation and the top senior in the state by Rivals.com. Van Sloten has no star rating, and Iowa is his one and only offer to date, but he is an athletic big man with good feet who one day will carry 300-plus pounds with ease. He’s an all-state basketball player, too, who last season had a 40-point, 29-rebound outburst on the hardwood.
