Iowa Football is now three for three on potential transfer targets who attended Iowa Men's Basketball's win over UCLA over the weekend.
Not only did the Hawkeyes win on the court, but the football program also signed three talented prospects.
Kicker Eli Ozick (North Dakota State) and defensive lineman Brice Stevenson both attended the game and have both committed to the program shortly after.
On Tuesday, a third player who attended the game has decided to stay in Iowa City.

Elon defensive line transfer Kahmari Brown announced he is committing to the Hawkeyes after visiting over the weekend.
Brown is an extremely talented and versatile pass rusher who was a prolific contributor to the Elon Phoenix defense during his time with the program.
Brown gives the Hawkeyes something they have been missing
Iowa has traditionally had solid edge rushers who put a ton of pressure on opposing quarterbacks, but that has fallen off in recent seasons.
Since AJ Epenesa left the program for the NFL, the program has lacked star power on the outside, and has not generated multiple sacks or quarterback pressure
Nothing against Max Llewellyn and Ethan Hurkett, but Brown gives them a physical, speedy pass rusher on the outside who racked up tackles in his two seasons at Elon.
During his two seasons with the Phoenix, Brown compiled 99 total tackles, including 25 tackles for loss, and 16.5 sacks.
Brown has the size of a linebacker and the speed of a defensive back all rolled into one package, and the Hawkeyes will benefit from his size and skill on the outside.
After comitting to the Hawkeyes, Brown will have two years of remaining eligibility.
