GRR: Iowa Central CC
Brent Nelson started the Iowa Central Community College men's rugby program and took it to a NSCRO national title, then 3rd in D2, and then a DIAA national fall title in 2019.
Our second installment of our top players from DIAA in the fall of 2019 features the loose forwards.
Our list will total exactly 100 players, so stay tuned for the other positions.
GRR DIAA Hot 100 Fall 2019: Tight Five
Well we'd like to apologize for being so late with this, but various factors slowed our progress in curating the list—long story short, we're ready now.
The Iowa Central Tritons started the 2019 fall season as a Division II team, and now they are DIAA fall champions.
The Tritons defeated Western Michigan 36-21 Sunday in Matthews, NC.
The story now is well-known; Iowa Central Community College was bumped up from DII to DIAA in the middle of the season—late in the middle of the season—and the Tritons still managed to win through, get an invitation to the DIAA playoffs, and make this weekend’s final.
It’d be no surprise that the players have a bit of a chip on their shoulder.
