Iowa football lands two more commits

By Jordan Garretson

The Iowa football team received oral commitments from two more prospects from the class of 2011 prospects Wednesday — Ray Hamilton and John Raymon.

Hamilton is a 6-5 230-pound tight end from Strongsville, Ohio. He chose Iowa over offers from more than 30 others schools, including Florida State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, and Oklahoma.

Surgery for a torn meniscus only allowed Hamilton to see action in six games for Strongsville High in 2009, but he recorded 22 receptions for 300 yards and one touchdown as a junior. ESPN.com ranks him as the nation’s 12th-best tight end in his class.

Hamilton is the second tight end in Iowa’s recruiting class of 2011, joining Henry Krieger-Coble (Mount Pleasant).

Raymon is a 6-5, 240-pound defensive end out of Newton, Pa.

Hamilton and Raymon are the sixth and seventh recruits in Iowa’s 2011 class, which includes Krieger-Coble, wide receivers Austin Vincent (DeSoto, Texas), Marcus Grant (Groton, Mass.), and JaCorey Shepherd (Mesquite, Texas), and offensive lineman Austin Blythe (Williamsburg).
