Defensive lineman Ethan Aghakhan has made his college decision. The 6-foot-2, 250-pound Illinois native announced today that he will be attending the University of Iowa as a preferred walk-on for the Hawkeyes.

“It has been an incredible journey, and I would like to thank all my coaches and teammates that made Stevenson High School so special to me these past three years!” Aghakhan said in a statement. “Thank you to my family for all the love and support over the years from basketball, track and field, and football and everything in between. Special thank you to Coach Wallace, and the entire Iowa football staff for believing in me and offering me this once in a lifetime opportunity! Go Hawks!”

Aghakhan, who has a 6-foot-7 wingspan, finished his senior season with 75 tackles, 22 tackles for loss, and seven sacks for Stevenson.

Along with the preferred walk-on opportunity at Iowa, Aghakhan earned scholarship offers from St. Thomas, Western Illinois, South Dakota, Fordham, Indiana State, Lindenwood, and Holy Cross during the recruiting process.
