Three-star offensive lineman Justin Britt feels wanted at Iowa
By Tyler Devine
IOWA CITY, Iowa – Iowa football fans appear to be doing everything they can to help with recruiting.
Three-star 2019 offensive lineman Justin Britt visited Iowa for its night game against Penn State on Saturday and came away impressed by the Iowa fanbase.
"The atmosphere was amazing," Britt said. "The crowd was awesome, they were really involved in the program. And a couple of the fans were encouraging me to make the move to Iowa so I really felt wanted there."
Britt, a native of Indianapolis, Ind., has been high on Iowa since receiving a scholarship offer over the summer, and is favoring the Hawkeyes, along with Indiana and Louisville, his two other scholarship offers.
The 6-foot-4, 282-pound Britt is impressed with how much the Iowa players seem to respect and admire head coach Kirk Ferentz and his staff.
"They are one of the three schools I am interested in right now," Britt said. "I just love their program. I love how involved the coaches are in the program. All of the players have bought in and are one hundred percent on the same page."
Iowa might have help in the recruitment of Britt, considering he is high schoool teammates with 2018 Iowa defensive back commits Julius Brents and D.J. Johnson.
The 6-foot-2, 179-pound Brents and the 6-foot, 170-pound Johnson are rated as a four and three star recruit, respectively, by Rivals.
Britt said that he plans to make his college choice after his senior season, and he doesn't currently have any other visits set up for the near future.
Iowa currently has four players committed to its 2019 class.
