Iowa football offers 2028 offensive lineman James Barrett from Iowa City
Summary

Iowa football has extended an offer to 2028 offensive lineman James Barrett, who attended the Hawkeye Tailgater event recently. Barrett, a 6-foot-2, 270-pound center from Iowa City West High School, is the son of Iowa's offensive line coach, George Barnett. Barrett contributed to his team's 8-3 record and playoff appearance as a sophomore. Despite the familial connection to the Hawkeyes, other schools, including Miami (Ohio) and South Dakota, have also offered him scholarships. His recruitment remains open, and Iowa's position may not guarantee his commitment.
