Landing 2021 recruits Connor Colby and Gennings Dunker this early in the recruitment process was fantastic for the Iowa football program, but landing 2022 prospect Aaron Graves right now is not just early, it’s the earliest in Iowa football history.
Since Rivals started tracking college recruitment back in 2002, there has not been a single prospect to commit three years before they anticipate stepping foot on campus.
Two former Iowa football players committed pretty early though. Linebacker James Morris committed 2.5 years before his scheduled date to join the Hawkeyes and last year’s top lineman Tyler Ezra committed just over 2 years before his scheduled date to join the Hawks.
