The good news continues for the Iowa Hawkeyes on Independence Day. After adding a thousand yard rusher in graduate transfer James Butler from Nevada earlier in the afternoon, Iowa got a big time addition to the class of 2018 in defensive tackle Noah Shannon.
Shannon’s name may sound familiar as he’s a name that’s been on the Hawkeye radar for some time as a top target on the defensive line. However, Shannon made an unofficial to Minnesota and PJ Fleck back in early May. As he’s known to do, Fleck put on the high pressure pitch and Shannon made his verbal commitment to Minnesota before leaving Minneapolis.
