The Iowa Hawkeyes are once again focusing on the next generation of wide receivers. After last year’s signing class saw the Hawkeyes bring in three-star wide receivers Jarriett Buie, Dayton Howard, and Alex Mota, it’s time to turn the attention to the 2024 and 2025 classes. On Friday, the Hawkeyes offered class of 2025 prospect and Missouri wide receiver Corey Simms.
Simms is a 6-foot-3, 190 pound wide receiver out of Christian Brothers College preparatory school in Saint Louis, Mo. Per 247Sports, Simms is a three-star recruit, the nation’s No. 46 wide receiver and the No. 6 player from the state of Missouri.
Simms is the latest in a long list of wide receivers the Iowa Hawkeyes have extended offers to. Per 247Sports, Iowa has offered 14 receivers in the 2024 class alone, including Simms’ Christian Brothers College High School teammate Jeremiah McClellan. In the 2025 class, Simms marks the sixth wide receiver offered by the Hawkeyes per 247Sports.
Unfortunately, Ohio State looks like the strong favorite in the race for McClellan.
For Corey Simms though, Iowa faces stiff competition from multiple Power 5 conference programs. In addition to Iowa, fellow Big Ten schools Minnesota, Nebraska, Purdue and Wisconsin have offered.
Arkansas, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri and UCF have offered as well. Simms also has offers from Alabama A&M, Ball State, Central Arkansas, Marshall, Miami (Ohio), Toledo, and Western Michigan.
Clearly, the Saint Louis wideout has already turned plenty of heads and for good reason. Here’s a look at Simms’ sophomore Hudl film with Christian Brothers College. Plus, his full recruiting profile below.
