Iowa football’s 2023 recruiting class may still be a work in progress, but the Hawkeyes are already making major headway in securing commitments for the class of 2024. The program received major news on that front today when Derek Weisskopf was announced as Iowa’s third in-state commit for 2024.
Weisskopf, who received his offer from the Hawkeyes on April 11, was receiving significant regional interest and had already picked up offers from Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Iowa State before pledging to join the black and gold. The 6’3”, 200 lbs. Williamsburg native could be a significant pickup for the Hawkeyes and has shown that he can do it all on the football field, finishing with 80 tackles and three interceptions on defense, 327 receiving yards and five touchdowns on offense, and even contributing as a punter and a kick returner during his sophomore campaign.
