High School: Iris Dunn, a 5'6" forward, comes to WKU on the heels of a very successful run with the Olympic Development Program. After being a four-time member of the Florida ODP State Team, Dunn's efforts this past year paid off when she earned a spot in the Region III Pool and onto the Region III ODP Team. Iris played club soccer for Pinecrest Premier where her team was a Florida State Cup Semifinalist. While playing at Coral Shores High School, Dunn was a four-time All-District selection. A tremendous athlete, Iris also lettered for her high school in volleyball and track and field. The athleticism runs in the family. Her father, Gary Dunn, was a two-time Super Bowl champion with the Pittsburgh Steelers while her grandfather is in the Miami Football Ring of Honor. Iris plans to major in biology and animal science.
Neidell on Dunn: "With the addition of Iris Dunn, we filled an enormous need on the attacking side of the ball that we have been trying to find for several recruiting cycles," said Neidell. "Iris is both strong and fast and has an aggressive, never-say-die mentality. As a forward, her relentlessness wears defenses out and creates chances for herself and her teammates. Iris is an intense competitor who demonstrates a true passion for the game by constantly seeking out opportunities to develop her talent."
