On Saturday, April 26, the Iowa football team gathered at a sunny Kinnick Stadium for an open spring practice. The gates opened at 9:45, with the practice beginning at 10:45 and lasting two hours. Families, friends, and football fans came out to support the players in the pre-season.
This marks Iowa Head Coach Kirk Ferentz’s 27th season, with his contract ending in 2029. This is offensive coordinator Tim Lester’s second season with the Hawkeyes in this position since the termination of Brian Ferentz’s contract. Auburn transfer quarterback Hank Brown played through most of the practice. The Hawkeyes ended last year’s season ranked No. 6 in the Big ten with an overall record of 8-5.
The Iowa football team’s first game of the season is on August 30 against the University of Albany.
