CBS Sports has placed the Iowa football offensive line among the top 10 in the nation, ranking it ninth heading into the 2026 season. This follows a successful 2025 campaign in which Iowa's offensive line earned the Joe Moore Award. With three players transitioning to the NFL, the Hawkeyes will rely on returning starters Kade Pieper and Trevor Lauck, alongside new contributors like Leighton Jones and Trent Wilson.
