The 6-foot-5, 299-pound OT from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, is rated as a three-star prospect by 247Sports Composite. He’s ranked as the No. 37 OT and checks in just outside the top-500 as the nation’s No. 506 rated player overall.
Though his technique could use a bit of work (as all high schoolers’ technique could), he was able to dominate the line of scrimmage at the high school level by using his wide, stocky body and physical tools. Iyama already possesses SEC size as a tackle, and he will work to improve his form while in Columbia.
