IOWA CITY, Iowa — EDITOR'S NOTE: The above video is from December 2021 when Xavier Nwankpa committed to the Hawkeyes
The Iowa Hawkeyes football team landed their big one.
Five-star offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor from Southeast Polk committed to the team Thursday afternoon, bolstering an already strong 2023 recruiting class.
"Been a long time coming, the wait is over," Proctor tweeted Thursday. "Hawkeye Nation you got my everything from the first day I get there. Let’s work 🙏🏾💕 I’m Home."
Proctor is ESPN's sixth-ranked prospect nationally in the Class of 2023. 247Sports ranks him No. 10 and Rivals has him at No. 14.
Alabama was Proctor's other finalist. He is set to join fellow SEP Ram standout Xavier Nwankpa, who committed to Iowa in December.
"Been known for awhile," Nwankpa tweeted Thursday.
"He's gone through what I've gone through already," Proctor said at Nwankpa's signing. "You know, learning things from him is pretty easy. He gives me all the intent and all the stuff that I need for my decision too ... of course he's gonna try to recruit me to where he's going to."
Gavin Williams, a Hawkeye running back who originally played at Southeast Polk before transferring to Dowling Catholic, tweeted in response to the news," Yessir we got the whole fam" while tagging Nwankpa.
