The Iowa Hawkeyes needed to add more depth at running back in the Class of 2022 and that is exactly what they were able to do with high profile commitments from Ohio native Kaleb Johnson and Florida native Jaziun Patterson.

First, was Patterson's commitment, which came on August 17, 2021. The Deerfield Beach product saw several twists and turns during his recruiting, starting off with a number of big name offers early on including Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Miami, Oregon Michigan, and several others as a sophomore, but saw some opportunities dry up after a shortened COVID season his junior year. Then, Iowa came in with an offer in July, quickly got him on campus for a visit, and secured his commitment.

As a senior, we had Patterson unofficially with 85 carries for 856 yards and 9 touchdowns this season for Deerfield Beach (9-3).

Johnson committed to Iowa on October 13, 2021, choosing the Hawkeyes over scholarship offers from California, Michigan State, Iowa State, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Marshall, and Liberty, among others. A four-star prospect, he was actually one of Iowa's early targets at running back, but initially committed to California in June before Iowa was able to change his mind after a mid-season visit.

As a senior, Johnson finished the season with 127 carries for 1,002 yards and 14 touchdowns for Hamilton (2-7).
