The Iowa football program gained more than just its third victory of the football season Saturday.

The euphoria surrounding the 10-6 victory against No. 18 Illinois helped the Hawkeyes pick up a verbal commitment from Texas high school defensive back David Cato, according to Rivals.com.

Cato, a 5-foot-10, 190-pound safety prospect from Mansfield Summit High School, selected Iowa over scholarship offers from Wisconsin, Purdue, Iowa State, Arizona and others.

Cato is thought to be the 11th player to verbally commit to Iowa's class of 2008, the second Texan and the third defensive back.

Cato visited Iowa City last weekend with high school teammate Terran Benton, a cornerback who is considering the Hawkeyes, Wisconsin, Purdue, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa State and others.

HOME SWEET HOME: Sophomore linebacker A.J. Edds had to leave his home state of Indiana to find a football program that made him feel at home.

Edds, a native of Greenwood, Ind., considered Iowa and Purdue before ultimately choosing the Hawkeyes.

"It just felt more like a home atmosphere to me, everything I was looking for in a nutshell was here at Iowa" said Edds, who starts at linebacker for the Hawkeyes. "The big thing was the people and the coaching staff and kind of the whole combination of the academics, athletics, the whole thing tied into one."

Edds took an official visit to Purdue as a high school senior, but he said his decision was pretty much made by then.

"Although I kind of knew where I was going all along, I did take an official (visit) to Purdue, and I went to a lot of games up there as a recruit and did look at Purdue pretty closely for a long time," Edds said. "So they were pretty high up on my list of schools during the recruiting process."

Purdue's loss has without question been Iowa's gain considering he has been a key contributor since he joined the Iowa program last season. He was among three true freshmen who played for Iowa last season.

He also was selected to the first-team all-Big Ten Freshman squad by the Sporting News.

Edds enters today's game against Purdue with 41 tackles, which is the fourth highest total for Iowa.

He will make his second start against Purdue after starting in last year's 47-17 victory at Kinnick Stadium.

EUBANKS ON DOERING: Sophomore offensive lineman Dan Doering wasn't available Tuesday to respond to what Kirk Ferentz said in his defense, but some of Doering's teammates did make comments.

Ferentz took exception to a column that ran in the Press-Citizen after the Penn State game that criticized the Iowa offensive line and questioned why Doering wasn't playing a bigger role as a redshirt sophomore.

"It's tough and that comes with the added pressure," Eubanks said. "I think he heard a lot, whether it came from fans or fellow students. He felt kind of down on himself that he wasn't able to do that.

"But at the same time, he's had things happen to him injury-wise and stuff like that where it kind of slowed his progress."

Doering, a native of Barrington, Ill., was one of the most celebrated recruits to sign with Iowa. He also was considered the prize of Iowa's 2005 recruiting class, which many ranked as the best in school history.

But he missed most of spring practice in 2006 with a foot injury that affected him into the fall.

He also lost a lot of weight during his redshirt freshman season in 2005 when he had a case of mononucleosis.

Doering had seen little action this season until last Saturday's game against Illinois when he played for most of the second half.

"I think he had a good mentality about it and he really got his chance on Saturday," Eubanks said.

MEDICAL REPORT: Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz updated the injury status of four players during his radio call-in show Wednesday night. Ferentz said LB Mike Klinkenborg (concussion) made it through the first two nights of practice in good shape and the Hawkeyes are hopeful he will be able to play Saturday at Purdue. Ferentz said TE Tony Moeaki (dislocated elbow/broken hand) made progress Wednesday, and there's a possibility he will be able to play Saturday. FS Devan Moylan (groin) hasn't bounced back this week and the Hawkeyes are hoping he might be able to play next week against Michigan State. Ferentz also said the Hawkeyes hope to get OL Rob Bruggeman (knee) on the field sometime in the next two weeks.
