The already hallowed 2017 recruiting class just got a little better for the Iowa football team.

Eno Benjamin, a 4-star running back recruit from Texas choose the Hawkeyes over a number of other programs. Rivals.com lists him having offers from Michigan, Baylor, and Oklahoma State among a number of other Division-I programs.

Nearly 5-10 and over 200 pounds, Benjamin has the size and frame to quickly make any impact on Iowa’s roster. Add a few years with strength and conditioning coach with Chris Doyle and he could truly be something special.

Iowa’s coaches were excited and several assistants tweeted about the commitment — among them Chris White.

The Hawkeye’s Rose Bowl appearance has started to pay dividends and with the quality of the recruits coming in, it seems as if the team will be set for a long time.
