Omar Khan is hard at work Friday.

The Steelers announced that they have signed two more members of the team’s 2025 rookie class to four-year deals: Iowa teammates Kaleb Johnson (running back, third round), and Yahya Black (defensive tackle, fifth round). The financial details have yet to be announced.

Earlier May 9, the Steelers announced the signings of quarterback Will Howard, linebackers Jack Sawyer and Carson Bruener, and cornerback/punt returner Donte Kent. Now only first-round pick Derrick Harmon remains unsigned.

Johnson played three years at Iowa, with his most productive season coming in 2024. As a junior, he rushed for 1,537 yards and 21 touchdowns, averaging 6.4 yards per carry.

Black played for five years. In 2024, he logged 34 total tackles and a career-best seven tackles for loss. His best sack season came in 2023, where he recorded 3.5.

Coming from Iowa, both teammates already look great in the black and gold.
