Makes you appreciate some of the guys that you never really hear about and the stories behind them.

As we near Iowa's Senior Day this season, a more personal note to my little brother that I now get to look up to. Here's to you, 22.

Good read. Best of luck to 22 as you leave the grind behind and start a new one in life!

Inspiring story.
This is one of the differences between NFL and college FB as we edge ever closer to the pros.
Go out with a win Mr Donald!

He’ll be a better man for his time in that program….. Kirk makes a lot of money but I believe being around these young men and helping mold them into the well rounded citizens and family men they become is his greatest reward

I would love to see a blowout big enough for all seniors to play and number 22 get a carry…

This part really resonates to me:

“You tore your ACL right before the Big Ten Championship game. My heart sank for you as surgery was required and traveling to the game was off the table. Rather than sulking, you called me up and told me to do whatever it takes to get to Indy and be there.

I wanted to come home to watch it with you, but you weren’t having it. You wanted me in Indy to support Iowa and stay true to a cause bigger than yourself. It wasn’t about you, and you never made it about you, even in the moments you were what mattered most. That’s special.”
