Hawkeyes QB Race & Walk-On Surge | Iowa Hawkeyes Football News

Iowa’s season opener is heating up with big questions at QB as Hank Brown and Jeremy Hecklinski split reps, with a decision expected by Friday. New offensive weapons L.J. Phillips Jr. and Tony Diaz are poised to make plays, while four walk-ons — including kicker Caden Buhr and center Cael Winter — start Week 1, reflecting Ferentz’s “if you’re on the team, you’re part of the team” philosophy. Meanwhile, defensive back Tyler Brown and tackle Trent Brown sit out with soft tissue injuries, with Tyler potentially returning next week. With talent, grit, and coaching commitment, the Hawkeyes are ready for chaos — and excitement — on Saturday. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
