B-G-M 68, Tri-County, Thornburg 6. Golston is the most experienced member of Iowa's defensive line and will need to be the leader of this unit in 2020.

Offensive line is where we start to see a few surprises, although not at left tackle where Alaric Jackson is back to hold down the left side of the line for the third straight season, with Jack Plumb being groomed as his understudy. Good luck, Zach. The middle linebacker succession plan hit a slight bump in the road with the departure of Dillon Doyle in the offseason, but Campbell was highly regarded out of Cedar Falls and appears to be a solid option to man the middle. They are led by twenty-second-year head coach Kirk Ferentz. We're very curious about that situation; he's been listed as a defensive end for his entire Iowa career to this point and Iowa's depth at tackle appears stronger than it does at end, so moving Waggoner to tackle is definitely eyebrow-raising. Will Schulte be able to keep a starting job ahead of Northern Illinois grad transfer Jack Heflin? Epenesa at right tackle. Jacobs has also been beefing up; he's now listed at 6'4", 235 lbs. Slammin' Sam LaPorta ended the season last year as Iowa's top tight end and that's reflected on the depth chart here. Iowa's defense has been trending toward much more 4-2-5 over the last few years, so expect to see a lot of Belton. Audubon 55, Bedford 0. Finally, Mark Kallenberger is your official starter at right tackle for now, ahead of Coy Cronk.

Kallenberger was a high-profile recruit (in the same class as Tristan Wirfs, now making millions in the NFL) so seeing him on the depth chart is no surprise -- but Cronk was a high-profile grad transfer from Indiana who many (us included) expected to start. The 2020 Iowa Hawkeyes football team represents the University of Iowa during the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season. I think the main way to read this is that the coaches really like Belton and are going to make sure he's on the field as much as possible for the defense. 8 Man State Playoffs. is your starter at middle linebacker, with Nick Niemann sliding in as the starter at weakside linebacker. The Official Athletic Site of the Iowa Hawkeyes, partner of WMT Digital. The Hawkeyes play their home games at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Iowa, and compete in the West Division of the Big Ten Conference. Kyler Schott returns as a starter at right guard after a pretty good year (when healthy) in 2019. Seth Benson (at MLB) and Jestin Jacobs (at WLB) are your top backups at linebacker (along with Barrington Wade). The 2019 Hawkeyes team finished the season 10–3, 6–3 in Big Ten play to finish in third place in the West Division. Sargent and Kelly-Martin (returning from a redshirt last year) are your primary backups. Jack Koerner remains your starter at free safety, with Kaevon Merriweather as the main listed backup there. Hopefully his absence here isn't injury-related. And the other big surprise: John Waggoner is a defensive tackle now?! Iowa 2020 Schedule. As a reminder, here’s a look at Iowa’s full schedule for 2020. When Iowa lines up in a 4-3, Belton will move back to strong safety; when Iowa lines up in a 4-2-5, he'll move up to the cash role and Castro will (seemingly) take over as strong safety. The most … I think it's a good bet that Britt will be starting somewhere on the interior of Iowa's OL in 2021. He's going to be one of the key figures on that unit this year -- and maybe for the entire Iowa offense, given the inexperience Iowa has at QB. As expected, Petras is your QB1 and Padilla (the only other QB who's been on campus longer than a few months) is your QB2. Niemann has been a steady contributor at various linebacker positions in the Iowa defense over the last few years. There are a lot of changes, many expected, but also a few surprises. Tyler Linderbaum, fresh off an impressive debut season as a redshirt frosh, is your listed starter at center. The bigger surprise is that Banwart isn't listed anywhere on the two-deeps, despite getting talked up just a few days ago. Purdue coach Jeff Brohm has identified and ruthlessly exploited the weakest link in Iowa's secondary in the last two Iowa-Purdue games, so all of Iowa's corners better be very ready to play in two weeks. At last Iowa football has emerged from its slumber and with the start of the season just over two weeks again we have a new depth chart for the 2020 campaign, the first new depth chart since the pre-Holiday Bowl depth chart last December, as a matter of fact. Oct 31, 2020: Northwestern Wildcats Kinnick Stadium, Iowa City, IA Time: TBA TV: TBA … Iowa had games scheduled against Northern Iowa, Iowa State, and Northern Illinois, but cancelled these games on July 9 due to the Big Ten Conference's decision to play a conference-only schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The only listed returners are ISM on kickoffs and Max Cooper on punts. Smith and Smith-Marsette are your "official" starters, but you can probably consider Ragaini a starter as well -- unless Tracy usurps him for the slot role, that is. Beefed-up Jack Campbell (now listed at 6'5", 243 lbs!) Justin Britt being listed as his backup is interesting; is Britt being groomed to replace Linderbaum if he leaves early for the NFL after this season (or next)? His opposite number is Zach VanValkenburg, who has the unenviable task of trying to replace A.J. Goodson enters the 2020 season as he finished the 2019 season: as the locked-in starter. Hey, a depth chart! Pottebaum and Pallisard are your guys when Iowa does need a lead blocker for the halfback; both have played only sparingly to this point. On August 11, 2020, the Big Ten Conference cancelled all fall sports competitions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Barring injuries, I wouldn't expect many changes here. Support Go Iowa Awesome by purchasing some of our killer merch. Moss has been up and down during his first two years at Iowa, so it will be interesting to see how he fares this season -- and how long a leash he's given as a starter. The depth chart still lists just two wide receivers as "starters" as well, even though three-wide has become a pretty standard look for the Iowa offense in recent years. Aussie import Tory Taylor is listed as your starting punter, although Iowa also has some TRI-PUNTER energy going on here, listing a total of three punters (Taylor, Ryan Gersonde, and Nick Phelps). Baxter 64, Iowa Valley, Marengo 20 Speaking of... Belton is also your listed starter at strong safety, with Sebastian Castro as his listed backup. Keith Duncan, the People's Lou Groza Award winner, remains your starting kicker, backed up by Caleb Shudak.

AGWSR, Ackley 74, Meskwaki Settlement School 14. This is still just a preseason depth chart, of course, so what it says may not matter that much, but this will be an interesting position to monitor in Iowa's season opener against Purdue. Maybe, although you'd think he'd be listed as Belton's main backup if that's really what Iowa was planning to do. They received an invitation to the Holiday Bowl where they defeated USC, 49–24. They are led by twenty-second-year head coach Kirk Ferentz. Shaun Beyer will also see a lot of reps as Iowa's main "blocker-first" tight end, of course. Chauncey Golston remains your starter at left end, although new face Logan Lee (a redshirt freshman who started at Iowa as a tight end) is listed as his backup. Could Merriweather slide over to strong safety at times? (Although unlike RT, where the starter will play a strong majority of the snaps, Iowa will rotate a lot at DT, so both Schulte and Heflin are likely to see a lot of action at DT, regardless of who is the official starter.) Cody Ince being listed as the starter at LG isn't a huge surprise -- it sounded like there was a good battle going on between him, Justin Britt, and Cole Banwart for the other starting guard spot on this offensive line. Finally, Austin Spiewak is your long snapper. There are a lot of changes, many expected, but also a few surprises. The Hawkeyes play their home games at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Iowa, and compete in the West Division of the Big Ten Conference. I suspect they have not worked on returns too much in practice to this point, so those roles are probably somewhat tenuous -- or at least the punt returner role might be. That will be a position to watch. Redshirt frosh Noah Fenske and sophomore Luke Empen are your listed backups at the guard positions; I believe both are making their depth chart debuts.
