## Resource

Iowa’s football program is heating up its 2027 recruiting push with two key defensive additions: they’ve locked in three-star DL Bariyus Allen and just extended an offer to safety Jonathan Harris — a 6’2”, 170-pound standout from Brother Rice HS in Oak Lawn, Illinois. Harris, who visited Iowa City days before the offer, is ranked 38th in Illinois and 109th nationally among safeties for the 2027 class. With only one committed safety (Jake Thies) and a clear need to build depth in the secondary, Iowa’s coaching staff — including Ferentz and Parker — are actively pursuing Harris as a cornerstone of their future defense. His senior season could be pivotal as he weighs offers from Missouri State, Sacramento State, and now Iowa. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
