Summary
Kade Pieper, Iowa’s breakout offensive lineman snagged from Nebraska in 2023, is back for another season — a huge win for the Hawkeyes after rumors swirled about him leaving early for the NFL. Though he was a key part of Iowa’s dominant offensive line and a finalist for the Joe Moore Award, Pieper himself wasn’t ready to go pro. It was his coach, George Barnett, who brought up the draft possibility — and Pieper turned it down. His loyalty to the program speaks volumes, especially as Iowa builds a reputation for developing elite linemen under Kirk Ferentz. Keeping Pieper means keeping a cornerstone of their success.
