Little Eppy- Hope he can start day 1

[JerseyCityHawki]

It might be hard to keep him off the field as he’s ready built coming in at 270 as is but the learning curve… I know AJ played in a rotation early on and I would be happy to even see that… we need to get more of these high caliber recruits damnit ! I do see some excellent talent waiting in the wings at the DE spot… hopefully one or 2 can break into the 2 deeps this year as I like Devan Kennedy, Chima Cheneke, Joesph Anderson… I am wondering their updated weights are etc… if any are going to crack the 2 deeps… they look to bring some needed speed and athleticism to the edges hopefully.

seem to run a steady rotation, am sure he will be in it. May take a year to start.

Not sure if Iowa has ever had a Freshman start on the defensive front. 🤷‍♂️.

I have been wondering about weight gains by these young linemen also. I expect Kennedy will move inside. Cheneke will probably inside or outside. Anderson is the most athletic, looking for big things on the outside for that young man.

Max Max and his running mate will start but our rotational crew will get plenty of snaps.

He will probably be good enough to leave early after junior year so I'm all for getting him on the field asap. Wish we would have got more snaps out of AJ. He was a disrupter!

 

[desihawk]

a real difference maker on each side of the los would make a massive difference. last year we had kaleb on offense but nobody on D. maybe eppy and shaffer will be those type guys for us.

Best bet like his bro in 2 deeps with hurkett, max and brian allen. 4th spot be interring. Got guys like merriweather and others who red shirted in play too.

Ethan Hurkett will be a starter, Brian Allen or Max will be the other starter. Iose will definitely be in the rotation.

Forgot about Nerriweather as well, he has the potential to be a good one too

Gotta trust Phil will put the best guy out there. He isn't afraid to pull someone or put the better player in front of someone who could be their senior.

Will Kirk play a freshman? Doubtful

Will Kirk play a freshman? Doubtful

They did with his brother AJ. They did with it with cooper and graves. Even Kirk acknowledged with portal if player is good enough he will play. He’s even spoke about after hockenson made him rethink how red shirts are done and he could’ve and should’ve played him after kittle got hurt. Going back to dejean why Iowa burned his red shirt cause in Kirk’s words he knew he wouldn’t be at Iowa after 4 years red shirt or not.
