JohnInKC Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 does anyone know where vondrae tostenson ended up? i know he was going to iwcc but i did not see him listed on the roster and could not find any news about him with iwcc other than he was a recruit. he was a tall big body kid who grew out of his WR body into a DE or TE body type. i know he had some character issues so that maybe what his deal is Quote Link to comment

GJT1347 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 when he tore his ACL in high school, i was told that he did not take the necessary steps to properly heal. this permanently reduced his speed, taking away one of his best assets as a wide receiver. im guessing that is why he was trying to make the switch to DE or TE. I havent seen or heard about him in a long time, then recently i ran into a friend who's currently playing for iowa western. i asked about vondre and he told me that he wasnt on the team anymore. a sad story for a guy who used to have all the talent you could ever ask for.

Who do you know that plays at IWCC? Quote Link to comment
Dundermifflinite Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 IIRC, Vondrae is no longer on the IWCC team. Quote Link to comment
EZ-E Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 IIRC, Vondrae is no longer on the IWCC team. I dont think he even made it through the preseason. He didnt play a down in an IWCC Reiver uniform. Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Wow, he was hyped since he was a freshman to never playing a college down. Quote Link to comment
JohnInKC Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 thats too bad. he had the skill set to maybe be something special. i know he was slacking when it came to school but there were also some character issues. 3 schools in 4 years. who knows maybe he will pop up on a roster next year or in years to come.
