The Iowa Hawkeyes have a culture built on hard work, development and measuring success solely by on-field results. After a season like we just witnessed, however, it’s easy to see how some programs can get caught up in the off-season hype. When things don’t go well on the field, looking to the future is the only solace in a dark world.
Fortunately for the Hawkeyes, the darkness of this past season still nearly resulted in a Big Ten West title and the hopes for this offseason have kicked off with a major bang. That came as Iowa added the first major transfer portal name when former Michigan QB Cade McNamara announced his decision to join the Hawkeyes.
