Next year's class could go down as one of the Hawkeyes best. They have had a lot of their target/offers visit multiple times.
The 2022 class is not complete and we have a long time until 2023's early signing day but it is fun to speculate what might be. I will go down the list with a few thoughts.
QB - Lainey - 4 star - verbal commit
RB - Feagin - 4 star - has visited several times, 4 hrs to IA Cty, 45 min. to Champaign, Illinois wants him bad, ND could be at top of his list
WR - Kasper - 4 star - hawk legacy, visited multiple times, tall and athetic - like our chances but a lot of top offers
Mota - 3 star - not sure if he is WR or DB - Eastern Iowa kid, hoping Hawks can get him
TE - Black - 3 star - love his size and speed, high school WR who projects TE. Has visited multiple times
Markway - 4 star - big, sure handed, good blocking TE, Dad played TE at Iowa, too many big offers but would love to get him
OL - Proctor - 5 star - tackle who is the top in-state prospect, an early commitment may help Hawks pull in several other top lineman
Jagush - 4 star - great offer list, an hour from Iowa city, ND could be tough to beat
Burgess - 4 star - called Iowa O-line U, like his mobility and size
Green - 4 star - great size and mobility, see him as a guard, Oklahoma and Missouri will be tough to beat.
On defense there are some great prospects and two very good earl commits
DL - M B-Johnson - 3 - star but underrated, really like this Young man's size and power - verbal commit
Gant - 3 - star - camped at Iowa and has visited several times, another stout d-tackle prospect
De Paepe - 4 star - has kept things close to the vest, great motor, and quick off the line, hope we keep him home
LB - This is and area of need, Kueter - 3 - star, if he wrestles will be a DL, but his film reminds me of our current Mike LBer
Newsom - 3- star - In-state kid, brothers at NE, hopefully he stays home. Good looking OLB
McCluster - 4 - star - visited for Penn State, I see cash written all over this Young man, great speed
DB - Carter - 3 - star - good looking CB, may be hard to pull from Florida
Patton - 3 - star - solid safety prospect but ISU may have the lean currently
Delong - really like this young man from Durant, currently not ranked
This list has a tremendous amount of star quality, will be interesting how things pan out. Go Hawks!
