About this episode

Eighteen days until kickoff, and Iowa’s defense is spotlighting Xavier Styles, the third-year DB rocking No. 18—same number as legendary kicker Drew Stevens. Hailing from St. Edward in Ohio, Styles transferred from Robert Morris after a breakout 2025 season with 36 tackles, 2 forced fumbles, 6 pass breakups, and an interception. He jumped to Iowa on Jan. 11 and could be a key rotation piece in a wide-open secondary. Plus: fans can win two free tickets to the opener vs. Northern Illinois—don’t miss out.
