2027 4-star OL spurns Iowa football for SEC school

Despite Iowa football being a finalist, 2027 four-star offensive lineman Kyler Kuhn announced his commitment to the Missouri Tigers.

Kuhn, who is a 6-foot-3, 280-pounder starring for St. Pius X High School in Kansas City, Mo., ranks as the No. 221 player nationally, as the No. 10 interior offensive lineman, and as the No. 5 recruit in the Show-Me State, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings.

Kuhn committed to Missouri over Iowa and Nebraska.

While missing out on Kuhn is disappointing, Iowa has a great pitch to make to offensive line recruits. The Hawkeyes’ tradition up front under head coach Kirk Ferentz is well established and Iowa won the Joe Moore Award last season under offensive line coach George Barnett’s direction.

Iowa currently has offensive line commitments from Reilly Newman and Nate Brenneman in its 2027 class.
