Iowa’s success in Texas unmatched in the last decade
While the Hawkeyes have reason to have success on the trail in the Lone Star State with assistant Bobby Kennedy having recruited the Dallas area for years, and offensive coordinator Greg Davis having many connections in the state, Iowa has zipped right past reasonable expectations. After inking zero players from Texas in February, there are five verbals from the state already heading into August with four having come in June and July after ESPN 300Eno Benjamin got the commitment party started in April. It’s not just the number of commitments for Iowa, but the quality as well. Should ESPN 300sChevin Calloway and Eno Benjamin ink with Iowa in February, they will become the first four-star prospects from Texas to head to Iowa City in the 12 years ESPN has ranked prospects.
