Hawkeye Football has earned another win on the recruiting trail, the third in three weeks.

The avalanche of prospects committing to Iowa Football began with the program flipping a talented quarterback prospect from Boise State.

2026 four-star prospect Tradon Bessinger opened the floodgates after committing to the Hawkeyes just before they hosted Oregon at Kinnick Stadium a few weeks ago.

Nearly a week later, Iowa got another win on the recruiting trail after 2026 in-state tight end prospect Luke Brewer decided to stay home and commit to the Hawkeyes.

Brewer chose the Hawkeyes over multiple offers from college football powerhouses, including Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Notre Dame, and Ohio State.

This week, the Hawkeyes received more positive news in the 2026 recruiting class as a wide receiver prospect committed to the program.

According to 247Sports' Tom Loy, 2026 wide receiver prospect Xavier Stinson has committed to the Iowa program.

Stinson was initially committed to UCLA before reopening his commitment following the program's firing of Deshaun Foster in September.

Stinson is a talented wide receiver for Vero Beach High School in Port Saint Lucie, Florida, who tallied nearly 800 receiving yards and seven touchdowns last season as a junior.

Rivals has ranked Stinson as a three-star prospect, Florida's No. 102 prospect, and the No. 116 wide receiver in the 2026 recruiting class.

247Sports has also ranked Stinson as a three-star prospect, Florida's No. 82 overall prospect, and the No. 124 wide receiver prospect in the 2026 recruiting class.

Stinson is also a stellar track and field athlete who has the size (six-foot-two) and speed to be a weapon for the Iowa offense on the outside.
