We’re nearly a month past the early signing period in college football and Iowa’s football season is officially behind us. But that doesn’t mean Hawkeye fans can’t get a sneak peak at next year and into the future. All week, the All-America Bowl has been holding practices in San Antonio and the Hawkeyes have a pair of future stars participating.
While Iowa’s recruiting class of 2022 is small in size with only 17 commitments to-date, it ranks inside the top-25 nationally because it’s headlined by a pair of incredibly talented players. Southeast Polk 5-star safety Xavier Nwankpa is the one that gets all the publicity, but Gowrie defensive end Aaron Graves was Iowa’s first commitment in the class and he remains one of the best.
