yeah he's not close to being ready to play. rumors are Michigan doctors weren't going to clear him to play at Michigan again. He didn't just have a back surgery, it was a spinal surgery. Those kinda things can be tricky. And he went outside of Michigan's medical team to get the surgery and he went against their advice in having the surgery.
I am not particularly confident a football player should ever return to play the game following back surgery of just about any kind.
Some have returned to play, and Tony Romo did well. Spine Surgery in the NFL: 6 Player Updates - Spine Physicians Institute Who did All's surgery?

If Iowa is taking All they must be OK with his back surgery.

from their perspective he's probably worth the risk. IF he's fully recovered and good to go, they just picked up an All-B1G caliber and future NFL draft pick talent at TE.

I am curious whether All gets a scholarship, as it seems like a risky endeavor. I am thinking Iowa probably required All to submit to a thorough medical evaluation before offering. 
On the other hand, with NIL, a school could recruit walk-ons and take risks with injured players without offering one of their 85 total scholarships / 25 per year. 
We are back to the 1970s when the SEC, and Big 8, offered many more scholarships than other conferences, except now the school doesn't have to offer a scholarship.

5* Kadyn Proctor decommitted from Iowa, and signed a letter of intent for Alabama. It's too bad Iowa's offensive coordinator did not do what was best for the program and announce his resignation so a new coach could be hired since his own father has hesitated to do what should have been done a year ago.

Proctor was asked yesterday why he flipped to Bama.  He felt that if he went with Iowa he would just be settling.  If he went to Bama he would be playing side by side with other 5 stars both competing for playing time and working together for a common goal.

Or something like that.  It could all be B.S.  maybe he was offered more money.  It's hard to tell nowadays.

This is the 2nd time Nick Saban has stolen a highly ranked in-state  OL from Iowa at the last minute.  It's amazing to think about with Iowa's history of producing Outland trophy winners and all-american OL under Kirk Ferentz.

Iowa recently has still had outstanding linemen, but only individually, not as an overall group of linemen. The offensive line as a whole has greatly underperformed the past several years, including the year Iowa won the 1st Joe Moore award. That award was undeserved for that particular group; I hate to say it. The award must have been given in recognition of Kirk Ferentz's past production of offensive linemen, with which overall he had been great at, and his staying power at Iowa.
