He is the third commit in the Cyclones recruiting class after Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas three-star defensive lineman Jason Hammond and Nevada (Iowa) tight end Carson Rhodes.

Hammond is the No. 821 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
