## Resource

Kade Pieper is taking center stage for Iowa’s offensive line in 2026, stepping into the spotlight after Logan Jones’ NFL departure. Already earning preseason All-American honors from Phil Steele, Athlon, and now Walter Camp—the oldest and most prestigious college football All-America team—Pieper is poised for first-round NFL draft consideration. Standing at 6’4”, 290 lbs, he’s the linchpin of Iowa’s championship-caliber unit aiming to defend their Joe Moore Award title. With a lineage of elite centers like James Daniels and Tyler Linderbaum, and under Coach Ferentz’s proven development track record, Pieper is primed for a historic season.
