## Resource

Fifty-six days until Iowa football kicks off, and we’re spotlighting the player who wears No. 56: junior defensive lineman Maddux Borcherding-Johnson. A towering 6’3”, 292-pound force, he arrived in Iowa City after an undefeated, state-champion wrestling senior year and a dominant high school football career. A three-star recruit since July 2021, he’s steadily climbed the depth chart, recording three tackles last season. With the defensive line wide open for 2026, a strong fall camp could unlock more playing time—and he’s stepping into shoes once worn by standout offensive lineman Nick DeJong. This countdown isn’t just hype—it’s a chance to get to know the Hawkeyes’ roster as game day nears. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
