Not only will Tate Wallace be busy on Fridays this fall, but his Saturdays are filling up. The Iowa City Regina junior is one of the top prospects in the Class of 2027, and from the looks of his game day visits, one can see why.

Wallace, who is a highly-ranked linebacker, has scheduled visits to eight of the top programs in the country. He will visit Kansas State, Michigan State, Tennessee, Michigan, Minnesota, Indiana, Northwestern and Wisconsin all while looking to help lead the Regals to a state championship.

Last year as a sophomore, Wallace caught a team-high 51 passes for 752 yards with eight touchdowns, averaging almost 15 yards per reception. He also recorded 27.5 tackles with 16 solos, four for loss and a sack while playing defense.

Wallace even saw the field as a freshman at Iowa City Regina. He caught 35 passes that year, which ranked second behind current University of Iowa wide receiver Jackson Naeve. Wallace racked up 430 yards and three touchdowns while making 22.5 tackles on defense with 15 solo stops and one interception.

At the moment, Wallace holds official offers from Minnesota, Tennessee, Eastern Michigan, Miami (Ohio), North Dakota and North Dakota State. 247Sports has him a four-star prospect, ranking No. 9 at his position and in the Top-150 overall while being the No. 2 player from Iowa in the Class of 2027.
