Iowa is not comparable. They are top 15 in NFL players per capita.
Kansas and South Dakota both have more players per capita.
Only 12 states have fewer players per capita than Arkansas. Most of those being states that don’t prioritize athletics at all.

Most years both have 3-5 four-star+, ~20 three-stars
2025
Ark: 1 four-stars, 12 three-stars
Iowa: 2 four-stars, 14 three-stars
2024
Ark 5 four-stars, 21 three-stars
Iowa 4 four-stars, 26 three-stars
Per capita really isn't the measure that's important. Especially considering Kansas is divided into at least 2 schools in terms of recruiting territory, then Mizzou as well if you're talking KC metro.
And South Dakota barely has people.

None of those states have the wasteland called the Delta that drag them down.
The area was always poor but they used to produce good football teams but now they are terrible.
Barton used to a power and now they struggle getting enough numbers to field a football team.
Helena for example always had talent but suffered from poor coaching and a community that didn't give them much support.
Now on the other end you have Greenwood that maximized its potential to the fullest extent and despite a lack of players over the years with big name offers, they win state titles. The community is fully engaged and they produced Tyler Wilson, Grant and Drew Morgan.
