Is he the best running back to ever commit to KF?

Jermelle Lewis was a 4 star RB. Top 100 player (73) and 7th ranked RB scout. Top ranked RB on east coast by rivals and 6th ranked rb per rivals. class of 2000.


eno benjamin is ranked 14th at his position per rivals.

Lewis was a HUGE fish in early KF days - and still is.

"Benjamin said that he is still considering taking official visits, but a potential change in commitment figures to be all the more unlikely with his intentions to graduate in December and enroll early.

“I think I may still get out and take official visits just to get out there and see what there is,” he said. “But I am going to say that there is nothing that any other school can do to outrun Iowa at this point.”"

IMO, the most skilled back of the Ferentz era, and one of the most skilled in my lifetime watching Iowa. And his nickname? Skillz

I actually did not know until he went public but I had a pretty good feeling he was ours based on conversations I had with him, including a short one yesterday afternoon. I would have been torqued had I written the stories and he committed elsewhere after writing two pieces.

Iowa has had some really good backs through the years. Ladell Betts is the best I've covered since I started in '97.

I think Garmon was a 4 star RB commit. Not sure where he ranked nationally, but as a 4 star, I'd guess he was a top 20 RB nationally.
