Hawkeyes Target Iowa Legacy Lineman | Iowa Hawkeyes Football News

0:00It's September 10th. This is Iowa Hawkeyes football news today. Your AI-powered team coverage. All right, so the Iowa Hawkeyes are already looking ahead to the 2029 football season and they just put an offer out to a young dude named Lincoln Walsworth. He's an offensive lineman from Cedar Falls right here in Iowa and he's already got some serious hype. We're talking four-star status, ranked nationally and the top prospect in the state for his class. This isn't just some random kid though. Lincoln's dad Joel Walsworth used to play for the Hawkeyes too, so he's got that Iowa legacy bloodline running through him. He was on campus for the game last Saturday. Saw the Hawkeyes shut out Northern Illinois, 40 to nothing and that's when the offer came down. It's smart for Iowa to get in early. Walsworth has another offer from Iowa State and other schools like Michigan State and Kansas State have shown interest. But with his dad's history and the fact that he's a top-tier talent, getting him on their radar now is a big move.

1:01He's six foot five and weighs around 250 pounds already, so he's got the size. The rankings are high and being a legacy definitely adds a layer to this recruitment. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out over the next few years. This is just the beginning of his journey, but it's a significant step for both Walsworth and the Hawkeyes program as they build for the future.
