Summary
Iowa Hawkeyes just handed a major recruiting boost to James Barrett, a 6’2”, 270-pound center from Iowa City West, whose dad, George Barnett, is the team’s offensive line coach. Already getting interest from Miami of Ohio and South Dakota, Barrett’s early recruitment is heating up — and his family connection gives Iowa a huge edge. As a sophomore, he helped his team go 8-3 and into the playoffs, even adding 16 tackles on defense. While Iowa’s position is strong, the race isn’t over — and Barrett’s next moves could shape his future. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
