UGA football is predicted to land a commitment from the No. 1 recruit in Iowa

It’s decision time for the class of 2025 and the Georgia Bulldogs are projected to land a number of elite prospects. The latest top recruit that has been predicted, per 247Sports, to commit to Georgia football is four-star offensive tackle recruit Nick Brooks.

The 6-foot-7, 345-pound offensive lineman has incredible size. Brooks plays high school football for John F. Kennedy High School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The four-star offensive tackle is ranked the No. 1 recruit in Iowa and the No. 142 player in the country. Brooks is the No. 15 offensive tackle in the nation.

2025 4-star Cedar Rapids OT Nick Brooks decommits from Iowa

The Iowa Hawkeyes received the unfortunate news that Cedar Rapids native and four-star offensive lineman Nick Brooks has decommitted.

The Iowa Hawkeyes took a bit of a crushing blow with recent news that one of, if not the top recruit from the 2025 class, announced that he has decommitted from Iowa.

Nick Brooks, a four-star offensive lineman recruit from nearby Cedar Rapids, Iowa, took to X to announce that he has decommitted from the Iowa Hawkeyes and is opening up his recruitment.

This loss has some extra sting for the Hawkeyes and their faithful after the Kadyn Proctor debacle last year that saw him flip his decision to Alabama at the last minute. While Iowa isn’t out of the running on Brooks, this isn’t a place that they wanted to find themselves.

“After talking with my family, I will be decomitting from the University of Iowa… My recruitment is still open 100%,” Brooks wrote on X.

Brooks is among the top offensive tackles in the country and has been viewed by some recruiting outlets as the top recruit in the state of Iowa, a territory that the Hawkeyes pride themselves on owning.

Iowa sits with the No. 29 recruiting class in 2025 right now per the 247Sports composite class rankings. This loss slid Iowa down in the rankings, but the larger issue that looms with news like this is what it could mean moving forward with talented offensive recruits.

Here’s a look at Brooks’ recruiting profile. Plus, a look at Iowa’s current 2025 outlook.

The 6-foot-7, 345 pound offensive tackle is the second commit in Iowa’s 2025 class, joining three-star lineman Joey VanWetzinga of Pleasant Valley.

“It means a lot to stay home. I am 20 minutes from the stadium, so my parents will be at all the games and my family is happy about the decision,” Brooks said of picking Iowa.

Brooks is rated as a consensus four-star recruit by each of the four major recruiting services.
