The Iowa Hawkeyes have offered a scholarship to 2028 tight end prospect Brady Reeves after he attended the Iowa Hawkeye Tailgater on Friday.
Iowa football officially presented the scholarship offer to Reeves, a 6-foot-3, 220-pounder from Cottage Grove, Minnesota.
He plays for Hill-Murray School and recorded 327 yards on 25 receptions for seven touchdowns this past season.
Kirk Ferentz has a renowned history of developing highly talented tight ends over the course of his 27-year head-coaching tenure in Iowa City.
This should be a significant recruiting tool for the program, especially with the Hawkeyes' recent offensive resurgence.
The Hawkeyes hope that Ferentz's prestige with tight ends and the overall positive interactions at the Hawkeye Tailgater put Iowa at the forefront of Reeves' recruitment evaluations.
Reeves has offers from Minnesota, Iowa State, Vanderbilt, Kansas, Wyoming, Miami-OH, Eastern Michigan, North Dakota State, South Dakota, South Dakota State, North Dakota, and Southern Illinois.
The Iowa Hawkeyes' next game is against the Northern Illinois Huskies on 2026-09-05.
Brady Reeves ranks as the No. 2 overall player in Minnesota and the No. 1 tight end, according to PrepRedzone's 2028 Minnesota Player Rankings.
Kirk Ferentz's experience and the team's performance will likely influence Reeves' decision.
The Hawkeyes are looking to strengthen their tight end position with talented recruits like Reeves.
