Hecklinski Shines as QB Race Tightens | Iowa Hawkeyes Football News

Jeremy Hecklinski dominated Iowa’s first open practice, throwing for 200+ yards and five touchdowns without a turnover—clearly the frontrunner at QB. Meanwhile, Hank Brown struggled mightily, completing just 9 of 21 passes. The running backs impressed, especially Nathan McNeil, who showed versatility as a receiver and blocker. Defense held its own against mixed units but let Hecklinski move the ball effectively. Pass catchers shined too, with Evan James making two TD grabs and emerging as a potential game-changer.
