Class of 2024 wide receiver Charlie Becker<\/a><\/strong> had a chance to make his first visit to Iowa City this past week. The 6-foot-3, 198-pound Nashville native left campus thoroughly impressed with the Hawkeyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was awesome,\u201d Becker told HawkeyeReport.com<\/a><\/strong>. \u201cWe toured all the football facilities and I got to meet with all the coaches. It was really cool to finally see everything that Iowa had to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Becker, whose father Dave played football at Ohio State, received a scholarship offer from the Hawkeyes in early May. The visit to campus this past week gave the family a chance to learn more about the academics at Iowa in addition to the athletics.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only did we tour the football facilities, but we went to see the campus and the actual school, which was really outstanding,\u201d Becker said. \u201cThe campus was absolutely beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before leaving Iowa City, Becker got to have a one-on-one meeting with head coach Kirk Ferentz<\/a><\/strong> and is now working on scheduling a return trip to campus for an official visit in June.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a great meeting with Coach Ferentz, which was very helpful, and I was just grateful for the opportunity,\u201d said Becker.<\/p>\n

After touring Iowa, Becker made a trip to Indiana on Friday and up next has an official visit scheduled to Northwestern on June 2. Those three schools are currently in his top six<\/a><\/strong> along with Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, and Appalachian State.<\/p>\n

A three-time state champion in track<\/a><\/strong> his junior year, Becker has been timed at 4.44 in the forty yard dash. This past fall, he finished the season with 54 catches for 697 yards and 16 touchdowns<\/a><\/strong> for Father Ryan High School.<\/p>\n
