IOWA CITY, Iowa – Iowa Head Rowing Coach Jeff Garbutt added 31 student-athletes to the roster on Thursday.

“I’m excited to welcome the new rowers to the program”, Garbutt said. “As everyone knows, we take our walk-on process very seriously here at Iowa. Our homegrown Hawkeyes are the lifeblood of the program and from what I can see we have another great class that I look forward to working with in the future.”

Iowa finished 20th in the CRCA Pocock Final Poll for the first time since 2019 a season ago and tallied 17 outright victories. Iowa spent four weeks in the top-20 which was also the best since 2021.

The Hawkeyes look to build off last season’s fifth place finish at the Big Ten Championships for the second consecutive season earning 90 points, 15 more points from the previous year.

The 31 student-athletes named on Thursday tried out and made the team. The Hawkeyes will hit the water for the first time this year on Oct. 7, in a scrimmage against the Drake Bulldogs from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. (CT) on the Iowa River.

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Hawkeye fans can now support NIL activities for student-athletes on all 22 Hawkeye athletic teams through the Swarm Collective.

Individuals who make a one-time gift of $1,000 or more, or commit to monthly gifts of $100 or more, will be able to direct their NIL support to any of the Hawkeye athletic programs.

“NIL support has become critically important to Hawkeye Athletics. We are fortunate to have such a passionate fanbase who continues to be generous in so many areas, and we don’t take that for granted. We want to support the donor interest whether it is in purchasing tickets or contributing to scholarships, facilities and NIL,” said Beth Goetz, interim Henry B. And Patricia B. Tippie director of athletics chair.

“Brad’s leadership of the Swarm Collective, with the support of Scott and Jayne, has been incredible. We truly appreciate those who have contributed to the Swarm Collective and our excited about the opportunity for all Hawkeye student-athletes to benefit from NIL.”

The Swarm Collective is led by Brad Heinrichs, CEO; Scott Brickman, Executive Director/COO; and Jayne Oswald, Vice President of Events and Engagement.

“NIL is a wonderful tool that provides student-athletes with opportunities to build and enhance their personal brand while also serving local charities and nonprofits.” said Heinrichs. “We are thrilled to be able to expand this opportunity to athletes in all 22 Hawkeye sports programs at Iowa and continue to contribute to their success on and off the field of play.”

The Swarm Collective has participated with over 40 nonprofit organizations in their first year totaling nearly 1,200 in student-athlete hours of service.

Iowa receiver Diante Vines has been trying to secure tickets this week as the Hawkeyes get ready to visit seventh ranked Penn State. University Park is just over four hours from his hometown of Danbury, Connecticut.

They will be vastly outnumbered by more than 106 thousand Nittany Lion fans wearing white.

With star tight end Luke Lachey sidelined with an injury Vines says everybody on offense will need to step up.

Iowa State needs a jump start to its season and the Cyclones hope the Big-12 opener against Oklahoma State provides it. ISU is 1-2 after a 10-7 loss at Ohio, Sophomore linebacker Will McLaughlin.

He says the defense has been preparing for a Cowboy offense that has been rotating three quarterbacks.

The Cyclone defense has played well but McLaughlin says they want to create more turnovers and short fields for a struggling offense.

McLaughlin says the Cyclones are excited about this opportunity.
