As a rival tries to enter the recruiting mix, Iowa fans don’t need to panic. Schaffer told Hawkeye Insider’s Sean Bock that his Iowa commitment is still rock solid.
“No changes in my college decision, and I can confidently say that it won’t change. I am a Hawkeye,” Schaffer told Bock and 247Sports (subscription required).
Schaffer is ranked as a three-star commit, as the nation’s 133rd wide receiver and as the No. 4 player in Wisconsin in the 2026 class according to 247Sports. The 6-foot-1, 184-pound receiver is also regarded as a three-star pledge per On3.
