The Iowa coaching staff has been trying for some time to build inroads in the state of Georgia. In particular, they’ve been hoping to find overlooked skill position players from the peach state to add some of that vaunted SEC speed to the roster.
The class of 2019 gives the Hawkeyes exactly that with the lone commit from the state of Georgia: running back Tyler Goodson. The North Gwinnett product has been committed since early July, when the staff was looking for only one back in the class.
Goodson was their top choice and today, he’s officially a Hawkeye.
