The Iowa Hawkeye football team lost some good talent through graduation and transfers.
They restocked last week, signing 24 future Hawkeyes.

Reece has coached linemen Marshal Yanda, Bryan Bulaga and Reilly Reif.
Marshall is playing for the Baltimore Ravens, Bryan for the Green Bay Packers and Reilly is expected to be a first-round pick in the NFL draft this April.
