Top Iowa High School Football OL Commits To Iowa

Rock Valley, Iowa — The Hawkeyes have locked up one of their own. Nate Brenneman, a 6-foot-6, 255-pound senior-to-be from Boyden-Hull/Rock Valley, announced via social media Tuesday that he will play his college football at the University of Iowa, becoming the first in-state Class of 2027 prospect to pledge to the program.

“First of all, I want to give thanks to God and blessing me with this opportunity,” Brenneman posted on X. “Thanks to my family, friends and coaches for helping me throughout this process. Thank you to the Iowa staff in believing in me. With that being said, I have decided to commit to the University of Iowa. You will get my best.”

Brenneman, who earned first-team all-state honors last fall, is rated by 247Sports as the No. 7 prospect in Iowa and the nation’s No. 59 offensive tackle. He clocks a 4.85-second 40-yard dash and dominates on both sides of the ball for the Nighthawks. As an anchor on the offensive line, he helped pave the way for 1,256 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns while the offense added 1,332 passing yards and 12 scores. Defensively, he recorded 30.5 tackles, 14 for loss, and five sacks.

In addition to Iowa, Brenneman held scholarship offers from Iowa State, Kansas, Boston College, Duke, Maryland, Michigan State, Minnesota, Florida Atlantic and North Dakota State.
