  • Iowa Football Post Spring Depth Chart Breakdown — A Fun, Early Look
    May 4 2025

    Collin breaks down his own version of Iowa Football’s post-spring depth chart, all for fun since we’re still months away from Week One. I analyze each position group, examining who I think will start and what we might see this Fall. Plus, I share my experience from attending the Carroll I-Club outing last week, where I had the opportunity to meet the new men’s basketball coach Ben McCollum and Kirk Ferentz!
