As the calendar roars through the summer months, that means fans’ attention will naturally turn toward who is next to don the black and gold across the 2024, 2025 recruiting classes and beyond.
The Iowa Hawkeyes have gotten off to a great start in the 2024 class thanks to a series of in-state commits. Overall, Iowa boasts pledges from 11 players in the 2024 class, six of which are from the Hawkeye State.
On3 just released its updated industry team recruiting rankings after a series of recent commitments nationally. Sure enough, there are the Hawkeyes snugly inside the top 25 of the team recruiting rankings nationally.
