.@HawkeyeFootball landed a big commitment from safety @JakeThies2, a tremendous two-way athlete. "I just told Coach Ferentz that I have loved everything about Iowa... and feel Iowa is the best fit for me and a place I want to be." VIP Story: 247sports.com/college/iowa/a… @247Sports

Iowa got a great all-around football player in Jake Thies who was a massive part of his team's state title a year ago. He talks about what the Hawkeyes want to do with him and how he can fit multiple roles in their defense. on3.com/college/iowa-h…

@Qb6Trae Thanks Trae! See you in the B1G!

Definitely not an Iowa fan but have so much respect for @JakeThies2 and how he plays the game. Iowa got a very underrated monster. Congratulations my guy. More battles to Come.

Earned everything not given anything‼️I will miss taking the gridiron with my bro. I know opposing teams won’t miss us though‼️‼️#💍

"Iowa’s football culture is second to none. I love Coach Ferentz and Coach Parker." "From the beginning, Iowa believed in me and Coach Parker is the best DB coach and DC in the country. I’m super excited!" - @JakeThies2 on3.com/teams/iowa-haw…
