Will Lockhart's Road to 50 | Iowa Hawkeyes Football News

Fifty days until Iowa football kickoff, and we’re spotlighting redshirt freshman defensive lineman Will Lockhart — a 6’4”, 233-pound walk-on from Denver, Iowa, who played both offense and defense in high school and even earned all-state rugby honors. After turning down other offers, he chose Iowa to represent his hometown. While walk-ons often get opportunities, Lockhart’s path to the field will require relentless effort. The number 50 has a storied history, most notably with Hap Peterson, a 1980s All-Big Ten nose guard who helped Iowa to the Rose Bowl. Watch Lockhart’s journey — the walk-on path is tough, but perseverance can turn dreams into reality. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
