STRONGSVILLE, Ohio - Strongsville incoming senior Ray Hamilton had 32 written scholarship offers from colleges across the country, and from all the major conferences.
On Thursday, the 6-5, 240-pound tight end made his pick from his final four, giving a nonbinding oral commitment to Iowa.
His other finalists were UCLA, Florida State and North Carolina.
"One of the big things that swayed him is every tight end that Kirk Ferentz has coached in his 11 years [at Iowa] has been drafted in the NFL," Strongsville coach Russ Jacques said.
Hamilton, who also is a standout forward on the basketball team, caught 28 passes for 376 yards and five touchdowns last fall. He missed three weeks with knee sprain.
Hamilton has a three-star rating from Rivals.com.
