The Iowa Hawkeyes extended an offer to class of 2025 athlete Dallas Golden out of Berkeley Prep in Tampa, Fla. Emphasis on the word athlete.
The 6-foot-1, 175 pound prospect really could play all over. According to MaxPreps, he registered 1,403 rushing yards with 18 touchdowns on 191 carries last season at Berkeley Prep. He also reeled in 10 grabs for 145 yards and one score.
Still, there’s a thought he could be a defensive player at the next level by many. For example, Kevin Sinclair of Irish Illustrated reported that Notre Dame has so far pursued Golden on defense.
That jives with On3‘s recruiting rankings, which places Golden as a four-star prospect, as the nation’s No. 59 player overall, as the No. 4 safety, and as the No. 11 player from Florida in the 2025 class.
Golden is rated as the country’s No. 30 athlete and as the No. 44 player from Florida per 247Sports.
Iowa joins Cincinnati, Duke, Florida State, Notre Dame, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Syracuse, Tennessee, Texas A&M, UCF, West Virginia, and Wisconsin as Power 5 programs that have offered Golden.
It seems like Iowa is thinking running back for Golden given that he tagged Iowa running backs coach Ladell Betts in his Hawkeye offer tweet. Again, Golden could play all over for the black and gold, though.
