Say what you want about the Iowa Football program, but they know how to acquire and develop talent.
This year's roster has 28 seniors or graduate players, most of whom have played in the program for four or more years.
Iowa rarely looks for one-and-done players, and likes to recruit and develop players within its system.
Quarterback Mark Gronowski is a rare player to join the Hawkeye program as a graduate transfer, play for one year, and move on to graduation or to professional football.
After the regular season concluded, five Hawkeyes were named All-Big Ten selections, and spoiler alert: they are all upperclassmen.
