Iowa recruiting buzz: Hawkeyes give out offers following March 5 junior day

IOWA CITY — Iowa didn’t pick up any commitments in the last week, but it still had no shortage of recruiting activity.

The Hawkeyes had several recruits on campus for their March 5 junior day, and some left with a scholarship offer.

Here are the highlights of the last week in Iowa football recruiting:

Offers

Chase Hendricks announced an offer from the Hawkeyes over the weekend. Hendricks, a 5-foot-11 wide receiver from St. Louis, is a three-star recruit in Rivals and 247Sports’ rankings.

Hendricks was among the many recruits to visit the Hawkeyes for their March 5 junior day.

The 2023 prospect already holds offers from Iowa State, West Virginia, Colorado and others.

Fredrick Moore, also a three-star wide receiver from St. Louis, picked up an offer from the Hawkeyes at their junior day.

The 6-1 wide receiver has offers from Michigan State, Texas A&M, Illinois and Nebraska, among other Power Five schools. Notre Dame and Georgia have shown interest in the 2023 prospect although they have not offered Moore a scholarship yet.

Three-star 2023 prospect Jackson Carver attended Iowa’s junior day and also left with an offer from the Hawkeyes.

Iowa will have plenty of competition for Carver. The day after Iowa offered, Wisconsin did the same.

The 6-6 tight end also has offers from Iowa State, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Virginia Tech and others.

John Nestor, a three-star recruit in the 2023 class from Chicago, also acquired an offer from Iowa at its junior day.

The 6-1 cornerback’s other offers include Minnesota, Purdue, Kansas and Northern Illinois.

Iowa has not yet offered Moore, but he has offers from Iowa State, Texas Tech, Eastern Michigan and Wyoming, among other schools.
