Somebody You Should Know: Jack Whitver
juice staff writer
(snip)Jack Whitver. If you know Iowa State football, you know that name. He's the 5 foot 10, 180-pounder who played wide receiver for some pretty solid Cyclone squads from 1999 to 2003.
And if you really know Iowa State football, you know him as the hard-working Dean's List regular who earned both an undergrad and a master's degree in four and a half years, the too-short receiver who showed up unwanted with no scholarship offer, then busted ass and earned himself a role with the first-teamers and a full ride.
Jack Whitver was an underdog then. And he's an underdog again - but in a completely different game.
This summer the 26-year-old announced his run for Iowa House seat 66, vacated by Ed Fallon. The district, one of the largest, covers the area from Forest Avenue to Wakonda Drive and Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway to the Capitol.Whitver, 26, is a Republican. More than 70 percent of the district's registered voters are Democrats. The state Republican party had all but given up on the seat.(/snip)
