Iowa Head Coach Kirk Ferentz has not been shy about recruiting in-state prospects and building them up through the program.
Ferentz does not often go for the home run ball on the recruiting trail, but he tries to get a steady flow of Iowa prospects to build around.
Alongside his passion for recruiting and developing in-state prospects, Ferentz loves to recruit multi-sport athletes so he can use that athleticism on the football field.
Some of Iowa's best linemen were football players and wrestlers in high school, including former offensive linemen and current NFL stars Tyler Linderbaum and Tristan Wirfs.
