Iowa football: Could the Hawks really transition to a spread attack?

Let’s call a spade a spade. The Iowa football team has never possessed a truly elite wide receiver group. It’s just the truth, but they aren’t letting history write the future.

With speedster Ihmir Smith-Marsette and jump-ball specialist Brandon Smith in line to start on the outside and freshmen Nico Raigini and Tyrone Tracy Jr looking great in spring practice, the Iowa football team still kept pushing to strengthen the position.

The big news was obviously the arrival of the hometown kid, former four-star recruit Oliver Martin, but lost in the commotion of the Martin transfer saga was that the Iowa football team also brought in two other division one football players to the program.
