Kirk Ferentz has sights set on a unique two-sport star for Iowa Football

The wins keep on coming for the Iowa Football program on the recruiting trail, as the coaching staff continues ramping up its efforts.

Iowa's first big win came in the form of in-state linebacker prospect Gavin Stecker.

Stecker, a four-star prospect from Bettendorf, Iowa, got Iowa's 2027 recruiting class started with a bang after becoming the first player to commit in the class.

Since Stecker's verbal commitment, the Hawkeyes had made offers to multiple top prospects in the class, including two running backs.

Rising three-star Texas prospects SaRod Baker and Jeremiah Dent both received offers over the past few weeks.
