Cole played football for Millard North High School in Omaha, Nebraska before traveling East to play football for the Hawks in 2011. After redshirting in his first year, Cole saw action on special teams in '12, '13, and '14 but could never breakthrough to a serious role on the Defense. That is, until his senior year which happened to be the magical 2015 perfect season run. A regular season that was capped off with a win in Lincoln, Nebraska, the team that Cole has family ties to, was an hour down the road, and grew up dreaming about playing for. We talk all about the 'Student Athlete' Dynamic and how he approached that, how it affected his effort on both ends, and how he processes that time in his life now.

Today we caught up with Brandon Bishop, who came to Iowa City in 2014 from Sugar Grove, Illinois. Brandon is one of the best people you could ever meet and throughout the episode those layers start to peel back. He was known as the effort guy on scout team and took pride in his role to get the First team Defense ready for the gameday opponents. He excelled in this role earning Team Leader Award 2 years in a row. We talk about all of this plus the moment he figured out he wasn't a D1 talent, how he approached his role in the program, the mental health of living the student athlete lifestyle, how Coach Ferentz and Coach Doyle were pillars every step of the way, and a crazy tragic story that Kluver and Bishop were a part of in 2015.
