Iowa received a verbal commitment from three-star 2020 DE Lukas Van Ness.
Van Ness (6'5/240) is Iowa’s 19th verbal commitment in the 2020 recruiting cycle, and the program’s fourth commit this weekend. The Barrington, IL (Barrington HS) native, who also plays hockey, made his pledge to Iowa on the heels of his official visit. Among the other schools that offered Van Ness were Illinois, Kansas and Minnesota. Van Ness’ performance at Iowa’s camp earlier in June led to an offer being extended, ultimately leading to his decision to schedule the official visit.
