Since I did an "All-Class of 2027" team for Nebraska, and we have just released a completely revamped Iowa 2027 rankings list, I figured I would do one for PRZIA as well. For my "All-'27" team, I am highlighting the top available players at each position. To honor commitments and get as many names out, I have omitted players who have already announced their pledges.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>***Committed 2027 Prospects***</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1197438' first='Jaxx' last='DeJean'] (#2 Overall -
