It came down to six colleges and those consisted of UCLA, Arizona State, Arizona, Oregon, Washington and Iowa State. 

In a live announcement at 7 p.m. Central Standard Time, offensive lineman Joey Ramos made his decision to become an Iowa State Cyclone. The announcement came from 12 News, a local station based out of Phoenix. 

Ramos, a native of Phoenix, attends Deer Valley High School and is a three-star recruit, according to 247Sports Composite rankings. He’s ranked sixth in Arizona and 46th in the country for the offensive lineman position. 

He received 13 offers during his recruiting process and condensed it down to six schools for his decision. 

The 6-foot-5, 290-pound, senior has helped block the way for the Skyhawks rushing game this season. Deer Valley rushed for 2,166 yards along with 26 rushing touchdowns, according to MaxPreps.com. The Skyhawks finished the season 5-5 overall and are ranked 57th in the state of Arizona. 

This is the 19th commitment for Iowa State and tomorrow begins the early signing period for college football. The signing period runs until Dec. 22, otherwise the recruit will have to wait until February to sign his national letter of intent.
