Ben McCollum knows that to change your team - it starts with the people and the culture.

• 4 national titles at Northwest Missouri State.
• Drake's first NCAA win in 50 years.

Now Iowa's first Sweet 16 in 27 years.

Here's how he builds culture:

Gennings Dunker (6’5 320) Iowa

+ Awareness against stunts
+ Blocking at the second level
+ Nastiness to his game
+ Tackle/guard versatility
+ Over 2,200 career snaps played
+ 80.0 run block grade in 2025
+ Impressive leg drive
+ Good grip strength

- Eleven career penalties
- Inconsistent anchor strength
- Lacks ideal foot quickness for a tackle which is why he is projected to potentially kick inside to guard

Draft projection: Day two

.@HawkeyeFootball Dunker v Llewellyn. these 2 might have squared off more than a few times over past few seasons ...Coach Ferentz knows how to recruit and develop the next wave of NFL prospects. #BaldysBreakdowns

[Andrew Caraway @Caraway6]

People keep asking why college offers are slow right now. Here’s the reality, and I’m not going to sugarcoat it.

As of today (the final day to enter the Transfer Portal):

• 10,853 football players have entered the portal
• 6,715 are still actively looking for a home
• 3,229 have signed
• 576 have withdrawn
• 333 have matriculated

Breakdown by level:
• FBS: 3,910 entered (1,633 still active)
• FCS: 2,735 entered (1,789 still active)
• DII: 2,779 entered (1,993 still active)
• DIII: 1,340 entered (1,251 still active)

That’s thousands of players still unplaced across every level of college football.

Now add what no one wants to talk about:

• Lawyers are suing the NCAA for extended eligibility for current players
• Those lawsuits are freezing roster spots that would normally open
• Division II has voted to allow 5 years of competition instead of 4, meaning fewer scholarships and roster spots available moving forward

What does this mean in real terms?

• Older players are staying longer
• Coaches are holding scholarships
• Roster math is completely unsettled
• Decisions are being delayed because eligibility rules are changing in real time

It’s an overloaded system where timing, legal uncertainty, and roster limits are colliding all at once.

If recruiting feels quiet, stalled, or frustrating, this is why. Stay patient and keep your grades up!

The top of the QB market is asking for $4-$5M this year, according to @PeteNakos. This group is not worthy of a jump from the $2-$3s from last year, but apparently, there's a market.

And then there were three.

Congratulations to @IndianaFootball, @TheIowaHawkeyes and @oregonfootball for being named finalists for the 2025 Joe Moore Award.

[Ben Stevens @BenScottStevens]

Iowa has now won eight (8) games in EVERY full season since 2015.

That’s 10 straight FULL years of 8+ wins for the Hawkeyes.

Iowa is one (1) of just four (4) FBS programs with 8+ wins in the last 10 FULL yrs:

• Alabama
• Georgia
• Iowa
• Ohio St

Remarkable success.
