Don’t mind the link title, not sure how that happened. From article:

Pieper, who started all 13 games at guard in 2025, is coming off a breakout campaign where he earned Pro Football Focus (PFF) First-Team All-America and Third-Team All-Big Ten accolades. He was also a cornerstone of an Iowa’s offensive line that took home the prestigious Joe Moore Award in 2025. Behind Pieper and the front five, the Hawkeyes outrushed their opponents in nine of their 13 contests a year ago. Additionally, Iowa’s protection unit surrendered an average time-to-pressure of just 2.8 seconds, ranking as the fifth best mark nationally.

He is a stud. We will see how the transition to center goes. There were some growing pains the first season with our most recent Remington Award winner. If he does ball out and go AA, he likely enters the draft.
