Iowa Targets Future Kicker Petrov

Iowa’s special teams are legendary — and they’re about to get even more explosive. With LeVar Woods gone to Michigan State, Chris Polizzi steps in as the new coordinator, already recruiting top talent. The Hawkeyes just made a bold move by offering a scholarship to Dima Petrov, a 2028 kicker from Hanover, NH, who’s already making waves. Last season, he went perfect on field goals and extra points, and at a national showcase, he averaged over 42 yards per punt — including a 55-yarder and a 60-yarder. He only started kicking seriously in high school after playing soccer, but his raw power and precision have caught the attention of elite programs. Iowa’s early offer signals they’re building for the future — and Petrov might just be the next special teams star they’ve been waiting for.
