CROOTIN’: Iowa Football Secures Verbal Commitment from 2018 OL Jeff Jenkins

National Signing Day is coming up quickly for students who will be attending college in the upcoming academic year, but the pieces are already starting to fall into place for Iowa’s 2018 recruiting class, as Iowa has secured a verbal commitment from offensive lineman Jeff Jenkins from Crystal Lake, Illinois.

Jenkins, a 6’4”, 260 lb. lineman out of Prairie Ridge High School, has a three-star composite ranking from 247 Sports, who has him ranked as the 694th best player in the country and the 47th best offensive guard prospect. He has six offers thus far, although Iowa is the only team outside the MAC to give him one thus far - his other five offers are from Ball State, Bowling Green, Central Michigan, Northern Illinois, and Toledo.
