Committed QBs
Iowa’s lined up commitments from QBs with ratings of 0.8600 and 0.8000. These guys should join soon and bring some fresh energy to the offensive scheme.

Wide receivers and tight ends are huge for any passing game. Iowa’s been pretty intentional about shoring up these spots.
Wide Receiver Additions
The team picked up a WR with a 0.8500 rating and another commit at 0.8400. These guys should give the quarterbacks some reliable targets and keep the passing game interesting.
