Football adds 19th recruit

The Iowa football program signed another recruit on Thursday as a part of its National Signing Day efforts.

Markel Smith, the 19th signee for Iowa, is a native of Kirkwood, Mo. Listed at 5-10 and 210 pounds, Smith is primed to play running back for the Hawkeyes.

A product of St. John Vianney High, Smith is one of two signees who hail from Missouri and is one of 15 signees that served as a captain for his high-school football team.
