## Resource

The 2026 Iowa football season is just 54 days away, and veteran voice Gary Dolphin—celebrating his 30th anniversary with Learfield—is already buzzing with excitement. He’s spotlighting the QB battle between Jeremy Hecklinski and Hank Brown, with Hecklinski currently favored for his mobility, while Brown brings pocket precision. Dolphin also raves about a stacked receiving corps led by monster tight end DJ Vonnahme and explosive wideout Reece Vander Zee. On defense, rising star Zach Lutmer—compared to Cooper DeJean—is poised to lead and steal hearts. With the opener against Northern Illinois looming, this could be Iowa’s most thrilling season yet.
