Since 2005, Iowa has started 11, 13, 15, 15, 13, 12, 11, 12, 16, 13, 14, 14, 16, 15, 9, 14, 14, 17, 12 and 12 white athletes. The Hawkeyes start 12 in 2025.


Once again the Hawkeyes do not disappoint. Only real complaints are that a 5'7" black transfer is starting over the 6'4" 215 Reece Vander Zee and no White starter at CB.

We can only hope that Mark Gronowski is the answer at QB after several disappointing seasons at the position. He was one of the best QBs in the FCS during his time at South Dakota State.

Players to look out for are QB Hank Brown (hopefully he is the answer at QB after Gronowski leads them this season), WR Kaden Wetjen (also servers as return man), TE Zach Ortwerth, DT Jonah Pace transferred over from CMU after a productive 2024 season, DT Will Hubert, LB Landyn Van Kekerix, DB Zach Lutmer and DB Kael Kolarik

Nice write up Leonardfan!

Iowa always one of my yearly favorites! Really like the pick up of new QB Gronowski. He had the FCS Powerhouse Jackrabbits offense clicking on all cylinders!

Former WALK ON Kaden Wetjen is as Electric as any Returner in the Nation; including the 100 yard TD Kickoff Return @ the Music City Bowl...Runs 4.3s...would go no less than 4.4 flat if Invited to NFL Combine; often compared to Tim Dwight.
He said "...So I'm kind of glad. I came in as a walk-on pushed me to be even better and eventually got to this...."

Wait ..what?? Vander Zee is not starting. Thats sure to change as the season progresses; didn't put him in the 2025 WR Thread for no reason!

Yeah it has been a while(years) since the Hawkeyes haven'y started a White DB
