A look at every signee from the Iowa Hawkeyes class of 2024
ESPN: Iowa’s head coach set his team to look more deadly next year
On the first day of the early signing period, 21 athletes from the class of 2024 were welcomed by the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Five offensive and defensive linemen, two linebackers, two running backs, two wide receivers, two tight ends, one quarterback, and one punter were all welcomed by Iowa.
Players from ten different states including both Australia and the United States make up the class. With seven, the state of Iowa generated the most 2024 Hawkeye signees; Illinois provided four.
Two players signed by Iowa are from Florida. Then, one signee from each of the following states: Texas, Arizona, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, and Indiana.
I simply feel pretty happy about the class overall. Thank you for all of your hard work. Everyone present on campus. Faculty members and other contributors to the cause are included, not only those in the department.
It is greatly enhanced by our admirers. Here is where players gather to play games. They are incredibly impressed with Kinnick and the support we get from the fans. That’s why it matters to us. To be honest, it’s really simply a team effort, so we’re grateful for that. We are incredibly grateful that the candidates and their families trusted us and our program. Regarding the Hawkeyes’ 2024 recruits, head football coach Kirk Ferentz of Iowa stated, “So, excited to get them here, whenever that time may be.”
As the national letters of intent come in and officially confirm each of these players as official members of the Hawkeyes football team, it’s always a joyful day. Let’s examine the complete roster of players who signed with Iowa on Wednesday.
