As the early signing period approaches, the Iowa Hawkeyes and Kirk Ferentz are eyeing a number of recruits to close out the recruiting class of 2019. Perhaps more importantly though, they’ve been spending the last several weeks visiting the existing commits.
Perhaps no visit was more important than the one Coach Ferentz took today, when he traveled with defensive coordinator Phil Parker and linebackers coach Seth Wallace to Clayton, Ohio.
The trio was in town to see one of their top gets in the class of 2019 - linebacker Jestin Jacobs. Jacobs is rated as a 4-star by 247 Sports (3-stars on Rivals) and has been solidly committed since back in May.
