Hawkeye Report Podcast
It’s Signing Day for the Class of 2025 and that means a special edition of the podcast. We sit down for just over 20 minutes with the General Manager and Chief of Staff of the Iowa football program, Tyler Barnes, to discuss the 15 recruits that just signed with the Hawkeyes.
We run down just about every player and get Barnes thoughts on each and every one of them. He shares several great stories about how the class came together and how Coach Fitz, the former Northwestern head coach, is now a great recruiter for the Hawkeyes with his son set to join the program. We also discuss the trends in college football recruiting. Is Iowa going to continue to have recruiting classes in the teens and hit the portal for five players? Are the days of signing 25 players coming to a close? How important is the Iowa Swarm to the program, particularly this winter since payments to players from the House settlement will not begin until August.
