Iowa football OL shares unfiltered joy of dominating opposing DL
For the Iowa Hawkeyes, they are rolling into 2025 with an experienced offensive line that features key veterans up front who can make life easier for offensive coordinator Tim Lester and transfer quarterback Mark Gronowski.
One of those linemen, Gennings Dunker, especially enjoys life in the trenches. During some time with the Iowa media, he shared some unfiltered thoughts on how much he enjoys dominating opposing defensive linemen.
"Oh, it's like crack. It's the best thing in the world. I love it. I wish I could get more of it. It's what you live for," Dunker said about winning in the trenches.
"If you can run them into the goal post, that's nice too, but I'd rather put them on their back. That's my favorite," he continued.
Dunker enters this season alongside Logan Jones and Beau Stephens, two other Iowa Hawkeyes offensive linemen receiving preseason notoriety. With a ground game that dominated last year, the Hawkeyes will look for plenty of situations where Gennings Dunker can be relied on to dominate his matchup.

Teddy Jarrard committed to Notre Dame and then posted one of best verbal videos out there
Notre Dame football has gotten off to a great start in the 2027 recruiting cycle, and on Thursday it got even better at Georgia quarterback Teddy Jarrard committed to the Irish. The rising junior ended the process extremely early, which is big for Notre Dame as he now can help with other prospects who he'd like to see join him. In the 2026 class, the Irish had the same type of early commitment with Noah Grubbs, and that has turned out pretty well. It wasn't all that surprising that Jarrard opted to pick Notre Dame over Georgia, Ohio State, Penn State, and Michigan, as it seemed like destiny that he was going to pick the Irish. In his commitment video, it sure seemed that way. He shared it on social media, and it's one of the better ones that has come out. It starts with him playing pee wee football, then quickly goes to Notre Dame campus while is followed by multiple clips of former and present stars. It concludes with his phone call with his new head coach Marcus Freeman, telling him that he is committing. Check out the full video below, as the Irish secured their 2027 quarterback early and will continue to build on another great class.
