Iowa is rarely known for putting together recruiting classes with the likes of Ohio State, Georgia, and Notre Dame, but the Hawkeyes hang in there on the recruiting trail.Known more for development and finding hidden gems, that looks to be the plan for the 2027 recruiting class. Sitting at No. 57 in the country according to the 247Sports rankings, Iowa is still on the hunt for a few more prospects. After a few recruiting losses on offensive linemen, Iowa is in search of a strong final push. The hope is that push can come from some of Iowa's top targets who remain uncommitted, with the Hawkeyes in the mix.Caleb Mattison, Running BackHeight: 5-foot-9Weight: 200 poundsHometown: Jacksonville, FloridaHigh School: Bishop KennyStars: Three-starPosition Ranking: No. 90 running backNational Ranking: No. 1204 overall It will be interesting to see if Mattison seriously considers Iowa. First, the Hawkeyes recently landed Keyon Thomas, a running back, as part of the class of 2027. Second, running back is a position of depth for Iowa at the moment, with minimal paths for young talents to earn playing time.Khamarian Young, Wide ReceiverHeight: 6-foot-0Weight: 175 poundsHometown: Hollywood, FloridaHigh School: McArthur High SchoolStars: Three-starPosition Ranking: No. 179 wide receiverNational Ranking: No. 1405 overall Iowa remains without a wide receiver commit in this class, but that may be by design. The Hawkeyes went to the portal for Tony Diaz and Evan James, two wideouts with multiple years of eligiblity remaining.Malachi Booker, EDGEHeight: 6-foot-6Weight: 220 poundsHometown: Montverde, FloridaHigh School: Montverde AcademyStars: Three-starPosition Ranking: No. 59 EDGENational Ranking: No 248 overall Could Iowa be seeking an embarrassment of riches here? With Jerrence Knoblock and Tommy Riordan committed, Booker could give the Hawkeyes a trio of pass-rushing commits.Brayden Parks, Defensive LinemanHeight: 6-foot-3Weight: 305 poundsHometown: Chicago, IllinoisHigh School: Brother Rice High SchoolStars: Four-starPosition Ranking: No. 25 defensive linemanNational Ranking: No. 192 overall Bariyus Allen recently committed to Iowa, but Brayden Parks could join forces, giving Iowa two defensive linemen commits. The current depth chart for Iowa is a bit more open for early playing time than in years past.Roman Igwebuike, LinebackerHeight: 6-foot-3Weight: 220 poundsHometown: Chicago, IllinoisHigh School: Mount Carmel High SchoolStars: Four-starPosition Ranking: No. 9 linebackerNational Ranking: No. 137 overall My gut tells me Iowa is set at linebackers in this class with Kyler Van Maanen, Braylon Bingham, and Gavin Stecker already committing.Raheem Floyd, CornerbackHeight: 6-foot-2Weight: 170 poundsHometown: East St. Louis, IllinoisHigh School: East St. Louis High SchoolStars: Four-starPosition Ranking: No. 20 cornerbackNational Ranking: No. 170 overall Iowa could be in play here. The Hawkeyes are losing Deshaun Lee after this season and have some room to replenish the cornerback depth chart. Floyd isn't too far from Iowa City, which could keep him close.Brandon Sherrard, CornerbackHeight: 6-foot-1Weight: 180 poundsHometown: Pearland, TexasHigh School: Shadow Creek High SchoolStars: Four-starPosition Ranking: No. 18 cornerbackNational Ranking: No. 157 overall Iowa is not necessarily at the top of the contention for Sherrard, but this is the type of win late in the recruiting cycle that could really jumpstart things. Sherrard would have a path to the field early at Iowa.Monsanna Torbert Jr., AthleteHeight: 5-foot-11Weight: 175 poundsHometown: Cincinnati, OhioHigh School: Princeton High SchoolStars: Four-starPosition Ranking: No. 13 cornerbackNational Ranking: No. 102 overall Like Brandon Sherrard, Monsanna Torbert Jr. could be one of the top commits for Iowa in the 2027 recruiting class if they can make a late push for the Ohioan.Darryl Flemister, AthleteHeight: 6-foot-0Weight: 160 poundsHometown: Detroit, MichiganHigh School: Martin Luther King High SchoolStars: Three-starPosition Ranking: No. 141 safetyNational Ranking: No. 1397 overall Safety is an intriguing spot for Iowa to recruit. With upwards of four transfer portal additions on the depth chart for Iowa now, is this a position they prefer to add older, proven talent at versus recruiting?Brawley Tuitupou, AthleteHeight: 6-foot-4Weight: 175 poundsHometown: Orem, UtahHigh School: Mountain View High SchoolStars: Three-starPosition Ranking: No. 125 athleteNational Ranking: No. 1667 overall A bit of a unique talent for Iowa to offer out of Utah, not usually a recruiting hotbed for them, Brawley Tuitupou may be a reach for the Hawkeyes in the class of 2027.
