Iowa Football started its Homecoming weekend off on  a high note Friday night. Iowa Western Community College defensive tackle Anterio Thompson announced he was verbally committing to the Hawkeyes. 

Thompson, a Dubuque (IA) Hempstead High graduate, picked up an Iowa scholarship offer earlier this season. He also reported offers from Arkansas State, Buffalo, Coastal Carolina, Eastern Michigan, Houston, Illinois, Kansas, Liberty, Memphis, Nebraska, North Carolina State, UNLV, Utah State, Washington State and Western Kentucky. 

HN spoke with Thompson (6-3, 300) after he camped with the Hawkeyes in June. He also visited campus for spring practice back in March. He expected to graduate from Western in December and enroll at Iowa in January. 

Thompson has registered four sacks for the unbeaten and No. 2 ranked Reivers this fall. He's recorded 5.5 tackles for loss.
