Iowa football is still in the hunt for one of the most exciting prospects in the 2028 recruiting class! Four-star in-state talent Jevyn Severson just dropped his list of top 16 schools, and man, the Hawkeyes made the cut. This is a massive development for their future, keeping them right in the mix for a game-changing player.
Severson Is A Freakish Talent Everyone Wants
This kid, Jevyn Severson, he’s not just good, he’s a certified stud. He’s ranked as the top player in the entire state of Iowa for the 2028 class and the third-best tight end *nationally*, according to 247Sports Composite. We’re talking about a 6-foot-6, 220-pound beast who posted a ridiculous 36.5-inch vertical jump. Last season as a sophomore at Madrid High School, Severson wasn’t just catching passes, he was dominating everywhere. He hauled in 23 receptions for 407 yards and four touchdowns. But wait, there’s more: he also racked up 39.5 total tackles and 7.5 tackles for loss on defense! That’s a two-way playmaker right there, and Iowa wants him bad.
The Hawkeyes Are Fighting Off Some Heavy Hitters
When Severson announced his top 16 on September 19, it was a who’s who of college football. Iowa is up against absolute powerhouses like Penn State, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, LSU, Texas A&M, Florida, Indiana, Louisville, Duke, Illinois, Missouri, SMU, Alabama, Iowa State, and UCLA. That’s some serious competition, but the fact that Iowa is still standing is a huge testament. He even swung through Iowa City on September 12 for the Cy-Hawk game, which is a great sign. The Hawkeyes already have three commitments for their 2028 class with quarterback Chase Grove, defensive back Dwayle Smith, and three-star offensive lineman James Barnett, who is the sixth-ranked player in Iowa’s 2028 class. Landing Severson would elevate this class big time. The battle is far from over, but Iowa’s still got a shot.
