The Iowa Hawkeyes continue to build momentum on the recruiting trail following the big official visit weekend now just under two weeks ago. Since that time, the Hawkeyes have secured a trio of verbal commitments, including that from 5-star OT Kadyn Proctor, 4-star OT Trevor Lauck and 3-star TE Zach Ortwerth.
As we near the weekend, that momentum continues to build as another highly regarded recruit is added to the mix. This time it’s Detroit defensive end Kenneth Merrieweather, who announced his commitment to the Hawkeyes on Thursday.
Merrieweather is a big time pick up for Phil Parker and the Hawkeye defense.
