## Resource

Iowa’s 2026 squad faces a brutal Big Ten gauntlet with young stars stepping into high-pressure roles. Quarterbacks get protected with a conservative offense, while Jack Dotzler anchors a revamped offensive line against elite pass rushers. Jaylen Watson, the spotlight kid in the secondary, must rise to the occasion as defenses target him. Kicker Eli Ozick brings NDSU grit but must thrive under Big Ten’s late-game pressure. On defense, Kenneth Merrieweather is primed to seize a starting spot and deliver pressure alongside Iose Epenesa to keep the secondary safe.
