TRACKING TOP DRAFT PROSPECTS - WEEK 2: 29. Jack Campbell, rJr, ILB, Iowa, 6-4, 246, 1,...Campbell won the weekly Lott Impact Award as he led the Hawkeyes with five tackles, seven assists and a safety as SDS was held to a mere 120 total yards (87 passing, 33 rushing). But Iowa fans were more focused on their own team's anemic offense, with 166 total yards including only 109 passing. They booed lustily. Campbell hit back in his post-game interview: "I hate to break it to you guys, but they're more than football players. They're brothers, sons, grandsons and I feel a lot of people lose sight of that. I just view them as a person, as a relationship, as a friend...No matter what, I'm always going to have their backs." Mmm. Sounds like Lott himself.

Previous week, No.33: Campbell was strong on and off the field in Iowa's 7-3 win over South Dakota State. During the game he led the Hawkeyes with five tackles, seven assists as SDS was held to a mere 120 total yards (87 passing, 33 rushing). But Iowa fans were more focused on their own team's anemic offense, with 166 total yards including only 109 passing. They booed lustily.

I'm never going to point fingers and I'm never going to complain because I have the greatest opportunity in the world because I love football' As a 3-phase team, we went out there and gave it our all today." - Frank Cooney/NFL Draft Scout

09/11/22 - Mark Gronowski, rSr/2026, Iowa, 6-2, 235 (DS#15 QB) + More +

Mark Gronowski passed for a touchdown and ran for two more scores, Isaiah Davis had 25 carries for 112 yards and South Dakota State held on to beat UC Davis 24-22 Saturday night. Gronowski was 13-of-21 passing for 110 yards with two interceptions. He opened the scoring midway through the first quarter with a 1-yard TD run and capped an 11-play, 86-yard drive when he scored on a 5-yard run that made it 17-7 before Isaiah Gomez kicked a 36-yard field goal with 1 second left in the second quarter to pull UC Davis within a score at halftime.

Davis ran seven times for 42 yards during a 12-play, 75-yard drive that took nearly-6 minutes off the clock before Gronowski hit Tyler Feldkamp with a 7-yard touchdown pass - Feldkamp's only reception of the game - to make it 24-10 with 9 minutes to go. Miles Hastings completed 26 of 43 passes for 273 yards and three touchdowns for UC Davis (0-2). South Dakota State (1-1), which is ranked No. 3 in the FCS coaches poll following a 7-3 loss to Iowa in its opener, committed three turnovers and finished with just 250 total yards. - South Dakota State/AP College Football

From five finalists for this week's Lott Impact Award our vote went to Iowa defensive tackle Jack Campbell over Penn State cornerback Joey Porter. Other finalists were LB Nick Herbig (2 sacks), Virginia LB Nick Jackson (14 tackles) and Pitt DT Calijah Kancey. The key is word "Impact." Porter was busy in a 35-31 win over Purdue with six PBUs, eight solo tackles and a fumble recovery. But Boilermaker QB Aidan O'Connell threw for 358 yards and wide receiver Charlie Jones was a Cooper Kupp look-alike with 12 catches, 153 yards and a touchdown.

Campbell made an impact on and off the field in Iowa's 7-3 win over South Dakota State. During the game he led the Hawkeyes with five tackles, seven assists and a safety as SDS was held to a mere 120 total yards (87 passing, 33 rushing). But Iowa fans were more focused on their own team's anemic offense, with 166 total yards including only 109 passing. They booed lustily.

Iowa's defense came up with two second-half safeties, and the Hawkeyes opened the season with a 7-3 win over South Dakota State on Saturday. Neither team could do much offensively. Iowa finished with 166 yards of offense, while South Dakota State had 120. The two teams combined for more punts (21) than first downs (16). The first safety came after Iowa's Tory Taylor had his punt downed at the South Dakota State 1-yard line in the third quarter. One play later, linebacker Jack Campbell grabbed running back Isaiah Davis after he took the handoff and brought him down one yard short of getting out of the end zone.

The second safety came in the fourth, when Iowa's Joe Evans sacked quarterback Mark Gronowski in the end zone on a second-and-11 play. Iowa took a 3-0 lead in the first quarter on Aaron Blom's 46-yard field goal. The only points for South Dakota State came on Hunter Dustman's 44-yard field goal with 20 seconds left before halftime. Iowa quarterback Spencer Petras completed 11 of 25 passes for 109 yards. Leshon Williams had 72 rushing yards. Gronowski was 10 of 26 passing for 87 yards. Davis had 18 carries for 50 yards. - Iowa/AP College Football

One week after Iowa football was unranked in the USA Today Preseason Coaches Poll, they are also unranked in the Associated Press preseason poll. This is the first time in four seasons that the Hawkeyes won't appear in the AP's preseason Top 25. Dating back to 2020, Iowa had been ranked in 21 consecutive weeks of the AP poll (last five of 2020, all 16 last season and finished No. 23 last season). Within the Big Ten, Iowa was picked to finish second in the Big Ten West behind Wisconsin (which checked in at No. 18) during Big Ten media days. The Hawkeyes return an impressive collection of talent on defense highlighted by preseason All Americans Jack Campbell and Riley Moss.

Last Friday, coach Kirk Ferentz expressed his feelings on preseason polls at the team's media day. "I think you guys know how I feel about preseason polls," Ferentz said. "You talk about a waste of time, with all due respect. The bottom line is what's really important is where you are in January. That's still all that counts. Those polls really don't start, I don't think getting it right until probably November, somewhere in there. But it's all about - like it's a long season, and, yeah, right now it's just about us trying to get ready for South Dakota State. That will be a challenge." - Iowa City Press-Citizen

About two weeks ago, Tory Taylor was brought to tears when one of his Iowa football teammates donated $6,000 toward his campaign to help raise money for "Count the Kicks," a stillbirth prevention awareness organization started by five Des Moines-area women. That teammate: Hawkeyes starting quarterback Spencer Petras. Though the donation is publicly visible online, Petras didn't make a big deal about it. He reached out to Taylor ahead of time to tell him about his intent, and the star Hawkeye punter was blown away. "Spencer's one of the kindest and most generous guys on the team. I'll try not to get emotional talking about it," Taylor said during Iowa football's media day on Friday afternoon. "But when he sent that $6,000 to my pledge and the charity, it really made me appreciate him more as a person."

Here's how the donation and the campaign came about: Keith Duncan, a former consensus all-America placekicker for the Hawkeyes, recently helped launch a campaign called "Every Kick Counts," which benefits "Count the Kicks." In "Every Kick Counts," kickers and punters can sign up with the goal of obtaining pledges and supporters. For example, if a person signs up to support Taylor, he/she would donate $1 for every 40-yard punt and $3 for every punt downed inside the 20-yard line. For kickers, an extra point is worth $1 and field goals $3. Or a person could make a blanket donation. And that's what Petras did. - Iowa City Press-Citizen

08/14/22 - Erick All, rSr/2024, Iowa, 6-4, 252 (DS#11 TE) + More +

This is the time of year for some blustery talk from college football coaches in the weeks leading to the start of the season. You know it when you hear it and chalk it up to coachspeak. Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh has been known to use a few superlatives here and there in describing players and coaches and sometimes has gone over the top talking up the prospects of a player who then never gets on the field. During Big Ten media days last month, Harbaugh spoke highly of tight ends Erick All and Luke Schoonmaker, and this felt like real talk based on their performances last season. All had 38 catches for 437 yards and two touchdowns, including the winning 47-yard score at Penn State despite running on a bum ankle.

Schoonmaker had 17 catches for 165 yards and three touchdowns. Schoonmaker (6-foot-6, 250 pounds) and All (6-5, 260) were All-Big Ten honorable mention selections for their play during the 2021 season. They are both on the preseason watch list for the Mackey Award, which is given to the nation's most outstanding tight end. Jake Butt won the Mackey in 2016 and is the only Michigan player to do so, but Harbaugh believes he has two tight ends capable of being the nation's best. "Erick All, in my opinion, his biggest competition for being the best tight end in the country will be Luke Schoonmaker. And I think Luke Schoonmaker's toughest competition to be the best tight end in America will be Erick All," Harbaugh said at media days. - Detroit News
