Ankeny Centennial football standout Carter Cahill has committed to play for Loras College.
Cahill said he was sold on the Duhawks after visiting the campus in Dubuque.
“It was a very hard decision, but I loved the atmosphere and everyone there,” said Cahill. “The coaches and teammates were all great people. I only looked at a handful of schools, but after my Loras visit I didn’t need to look at many more.”
Cahill played a few different positions during his high school career, but was used mostly at running back last season, when he helped the Jaguars to a 4-6 record. He ran 61 times for 357 yards and two touchdowns while catching a team-high 14 passes for 134 yards.
Cahill also saw some action on defense, contributing 10 tackles. He was a first-team all-district pick.
Cahill was a two-time state placewinner for the Centennial wrestling team. He also considered wrestling in college before committing to Loras.
“I always had wrestling in the back of my mind, but football has always been my greater passion,” Cahill said.
