Tory Taylor

Robert Read, Pregame Editor November 10, 2020

Tory Taylor hadn’t ever seen an American football game in person prior to Iowa’s 2020 season opener on Oct. 24 against Purdue, let alone played in one. But only three games into the season, the Australia...

Michigan

Austin Hanson, Sports Editor October 27, 2020

Sam LaPorta

Austin Hanson, Sports Editor October 21, 2020

Ihmir Smith-Marsette is the Hawkeyes’ No. 1 threat in the passing game – there is no disputing that. Smith-Marsette was Iowa’s most explosive wide receiver last year, so he’s earned the right...

Daviyon Nixon

Robert Read, Pregame Editor September 27, 2020

Sam LaPorta

Austin Hanson, Sports Editor September 27, 2020

A native of Highland, Illinois, Sam LaPorta not only looks the part of Iowa football’s next great tight end, he is the Hawkeyes’ heir to the tight-end throne. LaPorta is listed at 6 feet, 4 inches...

Wisconsin

Robert Read, Pregame Editor September 24, 2020
