I was listening to a podcast with Danan Hughes today and he claimed he was the highest Iowa position player drafted out of Iowa. I found that hard to believe so I looked it up.

(Only counting the regular June draft here)

(1) Tim Costco
(3) Bryan Jones
(3) Chris Hatcher
(3) Danan Hughes
(5) Robert Neustrom
(6) Mason McCoy
(6) Jake Adams
(8) Jim Sundberg
(8) David Hoeksema
(8) Jake Yacinich
(8) Tyler Cropley
(9) Bobby Morris
(10) Nate Frese

After looking it up I am wondering if I misinterpreted what Hughes was saying. It was a fun research project anyway. Hughes had a lot of night things to say about Heller and the current coaching staff. Link is below if you're interested.

Seeing Neustrom, Cropley, Adams and Yacinich on there is a good reminder of the impact Heller has had.

Is Nate Frese the lone Dahm player on this list?
