Aidan Hall didn’t want long to commit

The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder received his first Power Five offer from the Hawkeyes a week ago, and decided to jump on the chance to commit to his in-state school. He becomes Iowa’s ninth pledge in the 2023 class, joining a group highlighted by four-star quarterback Marco Lainez III.

Aidan Hall likely projects on the defensive side of the ball at the college level, but is a major threat on offense as well. He finished with 94 carries for 777 yards and 17 touchdowns while catching 32 passes for 755 yards and seven touchdowns as a junior last fall. Hall also had 29 tackles on defense with three interceptions, including two that he returned for touchdowns.
