Iowa sophomore receiver Arland Bruce says it is important not to over promise in this new era of name, image and likeness. The Iowa City NIL Club was recetly introduced and it designed to help members of the football team.

Bruce says the new club is designed to help all the players on the team and not just the stars.

One preview magazine believes the Iowa Hawkeyes can make a run at another division crown this season. Phil Steele’s College Football Preview calls the Big Ten West wide open and for the Hawkeyes it will be defense and special teams that make them a contender.

Steele says one of Iowa’s biggest obstacles is its schedule.

Steele says playing Ohio State and Michigan make the road more difficult.

Iowa forward Kris Murray is ready for the high expectations that will meet his junior season. Murray tested the NBA Draft waters after averaging nearly 10 points last season. Twin brother Keegan earned All-American honors while posting more than 23 points per game. He was taken fourth in the NBA Draft by Sacramento.

Murray says next season will be a chance for him to leave his own mark on the program.

Iowa coach Fran McCaffery says it will be a new challenge.

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson has been named to the Biletnikoff Award watch list, given annually to the nation’s best receiver regardless of position. Hutchinson, who was named to the Preseason All-Big 12 Football Team earlier this month, is entering his redshirt senior season as one of the Big 12’s top receiving targets.

A native of Jacksonville, Florida, Hutchinson had an impressive 2021 season, earning First Team All-Big 12 honors for the second-straight season while breaking the ISU single-season record and leading the Big 12 Conference with 83 receptions.

Hutchinson had 987 receiving yards and five touchdowns last season, running his career totals to 147 receptions, 1,758 yards and nine touchdown receptions. He leads all active Big 12 receivers in career receptions (T-14th nationally) and receiving yards (18th nationally).

Hutchinson was 23rd nationally in catches per game (6.4) and owns an active streak of 25-straight games with a reception. He had a monster performance against Oklahoma State with career highs in catches (12) and receiving yards (125).
