## Resource

Iowa’s 2026 season hangs in the balance as the quarterback race remains wide open, with Hank Brown and Jeremy Hecklinski splitting reps—no clear starter yet. The offensive line, a Ferentz stronghold, looks to reload with veterans like Kade Pieper and Trevor Lauck, while the defense faces major holes after losing key starters up front and in the secondary. With voluntary workouts starting in July and full practices in August, the Hawkeyes must prioritize locking down QB and rebuilding the D-line to stay competitive.
