THE Iowa The football team continued work on its 2027 recruiting class on Tuesday.
THE Hawk Eye currently have three commits in their 2027 class, but Iowa has offered up a ton of impressive talent over the past few weeks to try and add to it. That was evident Tuesday night when a versatile three-star prospect announced an offer to Iowa.

Three-star Justin Johnson spoke to X Tuesday night to announce that he received an official offer from Kirk Ferentz and the Hawkeyes.
Johnson is a native of Evanston, Illinois, and played his high school ball in Evanston Township. The 6-foot-2, 180-pound athlete plays on both sides of the ball, but many project him as a defensive back in college. Johnson is also a star track and field competitor, another sign of his athletic ability.
He is a highly touted prospect, holding 12 Division I offers, including from a horde of other Big Ten programs. Illinois, Michigan StateMinnesota, Northwestern, Rutgers and Washington are all in the battle for Johnson’s recruiting right now, with the Hawkeyes being the latest conference team to join the fray.

Johnson can play all over the field, has an ideal frame and high school production to boot. It would be a big win for the Hawkeyes if they could lure Johnson’s talents and add him to a small but incredibly powerful 2027 class at the moment.
