IOWA CITY, Iowa — Former University of Iowa linebacker Ed Miles will serve as honorary captain when the Hawkeyes host Nebraska in the Pioneer Heroes Game on Friday on Duke Slater Field at Kinnick Stadium. Kickoff is slated for 6:30 p.m. (CT) and the contest will be televised on NBC and broadcast on the Hawkeye Radio Network.
Miles was a four-year letterman from 2003-06. While on the squad, the Hawkeyes won a Big Ten Championship (2004) and competed in four bowl games, including bowl wins in the Outback (2004) and Citrus (2005).
After redshirting in 2002, Miles played special teams and was recognized as an All-Big Ten freshman by Sporting News in 2003. He started two games at linebacker and was recognized as Iowa Special Teams Player of the Year as a sophomore in 2004. He was a starting linebacker his final two seasons, finishing his career with 186 tackles and four sacks.
Miles had a three-stint in the National Football League following graduation. He signed with Miami as an undrafted free agent in 2007. After playing 18 games with the Dolphins, he was on the New York Giants roster in 2008 and Atlanta Falcons in 2009.
The native of Tallahassee, Florida, just concluded his third season as head football coach at Cedar Rapids Jefferson High School. He previously served as assistant coach at Linn-Mar from 2016-20.
Miles will accompany the Iowa captains to midfield for Friday’s pregame coin toss. He will also be with the Hawkeyes in the locker room before and after the game.
The UNI women’s basketball team is in the Virgin Islands and will play Auburn Thursday afternoon in the Paradise Jam. The Panthers are 3-1 and have been off since last week’s victory over then eighth ranked Iowa State.

The Panthers will play three games in three days.
(Radio Iowa) – A new committee in the Iowa House will take a deeper look at state accounts that are set aside for specific purposes as well as the “block grants” the federal government sends the State of Iowa. Federal block grants are distributed to states and are designated for a wide variety of programs that are managed by state officials. Republican Representative Martin Graber of Fort Madison will be chairman of the House Committee on Federal and Other Funds.
The next Trump Administration might be sending even more block grants to states and giving state officials broader authority on how the money is spent.
Graber, who was just elected to a third term in the Iowa House, says giving state officials greater latitude to spend federal money would be a positive move.
Most of the taxes and fees the STATE collects is depositing in what’s called the General Fund, but Graber says the legislature has created all sorts of special state accounts designed to support specific projects.
Graber, a retired Iowa National Guard brigadier general, has a Masters in Business Administration from St. Ambrose University and a Masters in Strategic Studies from the Army War College. He is currently a financial advisor.
Iowa’s improved offense looks for a good finish at home against Nebraska. Sophomore Jackson Stratton is listed as the starter at quarterback after leading the Hawkeyes to a 29-13 win at Maryland and says he felt calm in making his first college start.
Stratton says he had a lot of help from his teammates in getting ready to be the starter.
Senior Masaon Richman gets ready for his final home game. Richman is a rare four year starter at left tackle.
Richman says a big part of running back Kaleb Brown’s success this season is his maturity on and off the field.
