## Resource

The Iowa Hawkeyes face a pivotal QB battle heading into 2026, with redshirt junior Hank Brown and redshirt sophomore Jeremy Hecklinski splitting reps evenly. Brown brings experience and a traditional, safe passing style, while Hecklinski is a mobile, high-risk gunslinger. With no official depth chart yet, the coaching staff’s new offensive coordinator could shift the balance toward bigger plays. Behind them, a promising trio of younger QBs is developing, but the season’s success hinges on who wins this QB1 showdown — and whether the new OC can unlock their potential.
