Sharing my thoughts on the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Iowa Hawkeyes starting center Logan Jones joins the show to share his incredible journey from Council Bluffs High School to becoming one of the top centers in college football. Originally recruited to Iowa as a defensive lineman, Logan made the switch to the offensive line and has since developed into a leader of the Hawkeyes offense and a projected NFL Draft pick. In this episode, we talk about his recruitment, the challenges of changing positions, the mindset it takes to play center in the Big Ten, and his hopes for Iowa’s 2025 season. Logan also opens up about his NFL goals, his growth under Kirk Ferentz and the Iowa coaching staff, and what it means to represent Hawkeye Nation every Saturday. 0:00 - Introduction 2:17 Growing Up in Council Bluff’s Iowa 4:20 Being Offered by Iowa and playing with Max Duggan 7:00 Shot-Put and Discus State Champ 10:48 Stressful Freshman Year at Iowa 16:50 NPFL Injury 18:30 Logan on making the Jump to the Offensive-Line 30:00 First game playing at center 34:30 Building a good relationship with the QB 38:22 Big Ten 10 Championship against Michigan 41:25 Regulations on NIL 44:00 Kadyn Proctor at Iowa for 2 months 46:00 The benefits of NIL 54:00 Upcoming Games 57:00 6th year at Iowa 01:02:12 End #IowaHawkeyes #Hawkeyes #LoganJones #CollegeFootball #B1G #BigTenFootball #IowaFootball #GoHawks #KinnickStadium #HawkeyeNation #IowaCity #Ferentz #IowaHawkeyeFootball #HawkeyeFootball #BigTen #NCAAF #CollegeFootballPodcast #FootballPodcast #NCAAFootball #NFLDraft #Draft2025 #HawkeyesPodcast #IowaSports #IowaHawkeyesFootball #IowaCenter #OffensiveLine #TrenchLife #FootballLife #CFB #CollegeFootballTalk #BigTenChampionship Social Links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/louiestec50/?hl=en X: https://x.com/lstec50

Sam LaPorta is a Pro Bowl tight end for the Detroit Lions and one of the NFL’s fastest-rising stars. Drafted in the 2nd round of the 2023 NFL Draft, Sam made history in his rookie season with 86 receptions, 889 receiving yards, and 10 touchdowns — becoming the first rookie tight end in NFL history to hit all three marks. He was named to the PFWA All-Rookie Team and selected to the 2024 Pro Bowl. Before his NFL breakout, Sam starred at the University of Iowa, earning two First-Team All-Big Ten honors, a John Mackey Award semifinalist nod, and starting multiple seasons as a key piece of Iowa’s elite tight end pipeline. #SamLaPorta #DetroitLions #NFLPodcast #IowaFootball #TightEndU #ProBowl #DanCampbell #NFLDraft #PFWAAllRookie #FootballPodcast #LionsNation #nfl2025 0:00 Introduction 1:06 Being Recruited by Iowa 6:00 First Year Iowa 9:57 The Best Tight Ends to Recruit 11:30 2020 Season at Iowa 14:30 Beating Penn State 16:20 Bowl Game against Kentucky 19:20 Kirk Ferentz is the bead Head Coach in College Football 23:11 NFL Junior Year Hype 25:11 Being Drafted by the Detroit Lions 27:30 Meeting Pope Leo XIV 29:11 Getting to play with Jack Campbell again 33:39 Meeting Jared Goff and Dan Campbell 36:50 What allowed you to have a historical first season with the Lions? 39:00 The Talent of the Detroit Lions 41:39 Thoughts on the Loss against Washington in the Playoffs 43:13 Aidan Hutchinson Injury 47:50 How difficult is it to block in the NFL 50:00 Thoughts on the Coaching Staff Leaving Detroit 53:00 Having one of the best offenses in the league 54:00 Dan Campbell’s Coaching Style 56:06 Missed Calls by Refs 58:40 How Smart of a QB is Jared Goff 01:01:20 Adjusting to the NFL Fame 01:03:20 People Complaining about their Fantasy Football Team 01:05:00 Fines in the NFL 01:07:12 Training for the NFL 01:09:05 First NFL Big Purchase 01:11:28 Best Tight Ends to Emulate 01:12:15 Tight End University 01:19:20 Favorite Away Stadiums to Play at 01:27:20 End Social Links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/louiestec50/?hl=en X: https://x.com/lstec50

Nick Phelps was a backup punter at the University of Iowa when his life changed in an instant — a devastating leg injury on the field left his bone protruding through the skin. Doctors said he might never walk the same again. What followed was a journey of resilience: three surgeries, a year away from football, and a complete rebuild — physically and mentally. Not only did Nick return to the field at Idaho State, but he also ran a full marathon… and is now transforming his body as a competitive bodybuilder. In this episode, we talk about the injury, the pain, the comeback, and what it means to completely redefine yourself after sports. 0:00 Introduction 3:00 Catching Up 5:00 Okoboji Iowa 6:30 Being a Multi Sport Athlete 14:30 Running a Marathon after 3 surgeries 24:30 The Mentality of Walk on 26:48 10% Chance of amputation 31:11 Going to Idaho State 42:11 What’s the Ideal diet 45:11 Steroids 55:11 Reason for running 26 Miles 58:11 End Social Links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/louiestec50/?hl=en X: https://x.com/lstec50

In this episode, I sit down with Luke Elkin, a rookie long snapper out of the University of Iowa, who recently signed with the Chicago Bears as an undrafted free agent. Luke was a four-year starter for the Hawkeyes and now enters one of the toughest jobs in pro football: competing for a 53-man NFL roster spot.

We dive into what it’s like to be a long snapper at the highest level, how he prepared at Iowa, and the mental and physical challenges of fighting for your NFL future. This is a rare look into the grind, pressure, and focus required to make it in the league — especially at one of football’s most underrated positions.
