#93 Mike Daniels was undersized and overlooked (6’1 280 lb), but he played with a motor that never quit

#95 Nate Kaeding: one of the greatest kickers in CFB history.

The 2002 Lou Groza Award winner and 2003 consensus All-American is still the #Hawkeyes’ all-time leading scorer.

Never forget his rushing TD on a fake FG against Ohio State in 2003.

#96 Mike Meyer was a former walk-on who forged his way to being one of the best kickers in all of CFB from 2010-2013.

Meyer ranks 3rd all-time for the #Hawkeyes in both field goals made (61) and points scored (324).

#97 Zach Vanvalkenburg was a walk-on who emerged as a key contributor

In his final season (2021) he was given the Hayden Fry Award for defensive MVP and named 2nd-team all-Big Ten

Relentless motor. Zero quit. Iowa Football.

98 Days Until Iowa Football

#98 Anthony Nelson put on a show against Penn State in 2018

3 sacks, 2.5 TFL, and a blocked kick. One of the most disruptive performances in the Ferentz era. #Hawkeyes

99 days until the #Hawkeyes first game. 99 reasons to believe. #99 Andre Tippett starts the countdown

A dominant force off the edge, Tippett earned All-American honors at Iowa before going on to a HOF NFL career. His impact helped set the standard for the future of Iowa football
