The Iowa football program received a verbal commitment from Chicago (Simeon) Linebacker Reggie Spearmon on Tuesday night, just hours before the start of signing day which is always the first Wednesday in February.
The 6-2/200 pound prospect is a three-star player on a five-star scale at both Scout.com and Rivals.com.

The 21-player class is ranked 52nd nationally by both Rivals.com and Scout.com. Rivals has the class slotted eighth in...
