In our Missouri Valley Football Conference recruiting rankings, it's no surprise to see North Dakota State with the No. 1 class and South Dakota State not far behind. The two programs combine for 12 of the 30 top commitments/signees in the Valley (NDSU 7, SDSU 5).
But when looking at the best of the best MVFC recruits, Northern Iowa really stands out.

The Panthers have five recruits in the Top 30 rankings, and three of them are in the Top 6: No. 2 Cameron Baker (LB), No. 4 Nate Martens (QB) and No. 6 Logan Wolf (WR). All three signed during the December early signing period.
Wolf and Baker each had offers from Iowa and a few other FBS schools while Martens, a three-star QB, had offers from Syracuse and Temple.
UNI has been a perennial FCS playoff team over the last handful of years. But NDSU and SDSU have climbed over the Panthers in the Valley standings. UNI hit a few home runs in this recruiting class as signs point to a bright future for a proud program looking to get back to the top.
