Young guys shine bright on offense
Yes, the Iowa football team is losing a three-year starting signal-caller at the conclusion of this season, but if you’re a Hawkeye fan, you have to be excited about these young guys on the roster.
There are five freshman playing key roles on offense:
Tyler Goodson, RB
Sam LaPorta, TE
Tyrone Tracy Jr, WR
Tyler Linderbaum, C
Nico Ragaini, WR
That’s significant. The Iowa football team doesn’t play young guys often, and with a talented team already on board, it just shows how special these young guys are. Furthermore, if (and it’s unlikely) Tristan Wirfs and Alaric Jackson return, the Hawks could be returning 9 of 11 starters (8 if you count Brady Ross as a starter).
With Brian Ferentz entering his fourth year as a coordinator, this offense could be ready to blow up next year in a good way.
