    Iowa QB battle heats up: Brown vs Hecklinski, plus RB and TE depth before NIU opener | Beatline Hawkeyes
    Aug 22 2026
    Iowa's quarterback competition is the talk of fall camp as Hank Brown and Jeremy Hecklinski battle for the starting job. With the season opener against Northern Illinois just two weeks away, the Hawkeyes also have deep battles at running back and tight end. Tom and Sarah break down the key roster battles and predict who will emerge.

    On today's episode, we analyze the quarterback race featuring Hank Brown, Jeremy Hecklinski, Tradon Bessinger, and Ryan Fitzgerald. We also dive into the running back depth chart with Kamari Moulton, Brevin Doll, O'Lontae Dean, Nathan McNeil, Braeden Jackson, and L.J. Phillips Jr. At tight end, Zach Ortwerth, Addison Ostrenga, Luke Brewer, Eli Johnson, Thomas Meyer, and Michael Burt are all competing for snaps. The offensive line battle includes Cannon Leonard, Will Nolan, and several others.

    We make bold predictions on who will start and who might be cut. Tom thinks Hank Brown starts, while Sarah believes Hecklinski will see meaningful playing time. We also highlight Apollo Payne as a potential impact player on special teams. Will Iowa's defense lead the Big Ten in takeaways as predicted? Tune in to hear our takes.
