Harlan’s Aidan Hall has committed to the 2023 Iowa Hawkeye football recruiting class. Hall was offered by the Hawkeyes last week and had started to receive a number of other offers from Division 1 programs.

Hall helped the Harlan Cyclones win a state championship last season. He piled up 777 rushing yards, 755 receiving yards, and notched 24 touchdowns as a Junior.

Hall also contributed 29.5 tackles and three interceptions on defense. He’s ranked as a 3-star recruit in the 247sports composite rankings and listed as the 13th best prospect from Iowa in that class. Hall made his announcement via social media on Saturday.
