Top 2025 OL target moving back to the Hawkeye State

One of Iowa’s top 2025 offensive line targets, four-star Nick Brooks, announced he is moving back to the Hawkeye State.

Could a move back to the Hawkeye State open the door for Iowa in the recruitment of a talented, four-star offensive tackle?

The Iowa Hawkeyes are one of a number of Power Five schools in the mix for four-star offensive tackle prospect Nick Brooks. Iowa offered Brooks on April 4 after his spring visit to Iowa City.

At the time, Brooks was attending Buford High School in Buford, Georgia. However, Brooks revealed he is moving back to the state of Iowa with his mother and will attend Kennedy High School in Cedar Rapids.

The 6-foot-8, 340-pound offensive tackle is already regarded as a four-star talent by Rivals, On3 and 247Sports.

Rivals ranks Brooks as the nation’s No. 109 player overall and the No. 12 offensive tackle in the 2025 class. On3 rates Brooks as the country’s No. 142 player nationally and the No. 14 offensive tackle.

247Sports lists Brooks as the No. 186 player nationally and as the No. 17 offensive tackle. The 247Sports composite lists Brooks as the No. 133 player overall and as the No. 14 offensive tackle.

The junior-to-be already has quite the offers sheet. Brooks also holds offers from Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Iowa State, Louisville, Miami, Michigan, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Tennessee and Texas.

Here’s a look at Brooks’ full recruiting profile.
