Great news. The key for this offense is reading the cutback lanes, hopefully he has that natural ability to do so.

Markel Smith: "It's like a WR going to a school that throws all the time. Iowa has a great history with RBs. I wanted to be a part of that."

Fire Ferentz! Sorry just had to get that in this thread somehow!

But seriously I hope the last 2 recruiting pan out. We have gone heavy on skill position players. Definitely need to hit on some of these guys.

Hope he doesn't pull a Gordon and family talks him into missouri.

Even this kid knows we lack a vertical passing game. But, nice to get a verbal from a 4 star running back.
