While the Iowa Hawkeyes are known for their defensive prowess year in and year out, their offensive output has been on a steady path of producing some top talent.
Known for tight ends, the Hawkeyes also pump out top offensive line talent that is often making its way to the NFL and carving out long careers. That case remains the same for the 2025 season as the Hawkeyes are boasting top 10 talent in the trenches on both sides of the ball.
Entering 2025, Pro Football Focus has three Iowa Hawkeyes ranked in the top 10 of their respective positions along the offensive and defensive lines.
Offensively, Logan Jones is rated as the No. 4 interior offensive lineman in 2025 and the best Power Four center, while Gennings Dunker comes in as the No. 6 offensive tackle in all of college football. On defense, Aaron Graves finds himself as the No. 6 defensive tackle in America.
Dunker and Jones, two of Iowa’s anchors along the offensive line, are looking to build off a 2024 season that saw them pave the way for running back Kaleb Jones to rewrite part of the Hawkeyes’ rushing record books.
On defense, Aaron Graves is hoping to build upon three strong years with the Hawkeyes. The Iowa native from Southeast Valley High School and Dayton, Iowa, has played in 39 games with 13 starts while registering 85 tackles, 18.5 tackles for loss, 11.5 sacks, and four forced fumbles.
