The event serves as a primary recruiting tool for the Hawkeye coaching staffs as the football team faces the Cyclones on Saturday, September 12.

Notable football visitors include uncommitted four-star prospects Grant Bowen, Cannon Zubeck, and Jevyn Severson. The women’s basketball program, led by coach Jan Jensen, is hosting top-rated center Khalia Hartwell, while the men's basketball staff is entertaining five-star point guard Cayden Daughtry.
