Washed Up Walkons

On this episode we welcome former Iowa offensive lineman Nick DeJong. Nick recounts earning early playing time during a turbulent period for the Hawkeyes' offensive line, including being undersized, battling injuries, and feeling dread and anxiety facing elite defenders like Aidan Hutchinson. The group swaps stories about brutal Iowa practices, conditioning, and extreme weigh-in tactics, plus outside criticism on social media. DeYoung reflects on leadership changes after Tyler Linderbaum, pride in teammates reaching the NFL, and his post-football life in medical sales, fitness coaching, and losing about 70 pounds.

WashUp Walk-Ons opens with too-early college football national title odds and talk of potentially attending Iowa vs. Ohio State at Kinnick. The hosts recap the NFL Draft with a program-record seven Hawkeyes selected, discuss how an 8/9-win season can still produce that many draftees, and break down landing spots and storylines, including Logan Jones to the Bears and his “ketchup for life” perk, plus the ongoing Iowa-to-Steelers connection with multiple Hawkeyes on Pittsburgh's depth chart. They also cover undrafted free agent signings, debate which UDFA has the best chance to stick in the league, touch on Broncos draft context and general draft fan culture, and share spring practice notes on Iowa's QB battle, offensive optimism, and receiver room improvements. The episode ends with sponsor plugs, a brief Patriots media scandal aside, and plans for future guests and recaps. If you love the show and want to show support, tell your friends!

King reflects on Iowa's 2015 season, including the Wisconsin win, the Michigan State loss, and the Rose Bowl defeat to Stanford, plus games that still haunt him.

Today on the podcast, we welcome back Zach Schneider, a former Northwest Missouri State player and longtime assistant/associate head coach under Ben McCollum, to discuss McCollum's first season at Iowa and the program's rapid rise from regular-season inconsistency to an Elite Eight run highlighted by beating Florida and rival Nebraska.

On this episode Iowa Hawkeyes football player Jeremiah Pittman returns to discuss balancing football with academics, choosing finance over engineering, and what he gained from demanding coursework like valuation modeling. He reflects on growing up in a strict household with two older brothers, a church-centered upbringing with music, and how maturity shaped his approach to college. Pittman details committing to Iowa during the COVID recruiting era without an official visit, drawn by transparent coaching (especially Coach Bell), program stability under Kirk Ferentz, and faith connections through Jim Goodrich and Athletes in Action. He explains how NIL, transfers, and revenue sharing changed college football, raising concerns about young players' money habits. Pittman shares a significant knee cartilage injury and rehab, faith-based identity beyond sport, leadership in Bible studies, and what he'll carry forward—time management and the “Iowa Edge.” He previews his post-football plans: a corporate finance rotational program at Uline, marriage, and house hunting.

Hayden grew up in Michigan, and was a Wolverine fan, but ended up a Hawkeye. We discuss being a six-year college player after starting at small Christian college Dordt in Sioux Center, Iowa, his Dutch/Michigan connections, and a severe senior-year injury that tore a piece of his pelvis off, forcing surgery and sidelining him from football.

Beau is from Blue Springs, Missouri. He joined the Hawkeyes in the class of 2021 and became a massive contributor/starter for the Hawks over his final 3 seasons. On this episode Beau reacts to teammate Logan Jones calling him a “psychopath,” explaining his intense playing style and love of run-game dominance. He details how the offensive line senses opponents breaking, why the slow mesh didn't fit Iowa's identity, and what it was like blocking for QB Mark Gronowski, whose running ability changed the offense despite injury concerns. Bo reflects on moving from Iowa's “dark years” to a Joe Moore Award-winning unit, crediting Coach Barnett's culture rebuild, “person before player” emphasis, and Logan Jones' leadership growth. He also covers NIL/revenue share benefits (including buying a house with his fiancée), camp routines and weigh-in/weight-loss stories, recruiting to Iowa because of its values, and his excitement for the NFL Combine with a goal of bringing “Iowa football” professionalism to the league.

Aaron Graves is from Dayton, IA and prepped at Southeast Valley High school. He became the youngest player to ever commit to the Hawkeyes just after his Freshman year and completely shut down his recruiting after verbally agreeing to be a Hawkeye. He joins the show from Texas where he's training for combine/pro day drills while living with his wife and newborn. Graves recounts the hectic 48 hours around the Nebraska game when his son was born on Thanksgiving Day, including a late-night charter flight to Lincoln, skipping meetings, playing, returning straight to the hospital, and receiving a game ball and framed display after Iowa's 40–16 win. He reflects on committing to Iowa as a sophomore after his first offer from Kirk Ferentz, growing up in Dayton, Iowa and Southeast Valley (a small district spanning 13 towns), playing multiple sports, winning the school's first state title, and finishing as the program's all-time leading basketball scorer. Graves discusses arriving at Iowa with the goal to control effort and preparation, earning early snaps and his first sack, and the wake-up call of playing at Ohio State as a freshman. He explains leadership growth into a starting role, the impact of older teammates in a roster now filled with fifth- and sixth-year players, and how Iowa approached NIL and revenue sharing by avoiding pay talk to prevent locker-room friction. Graves details graduating quickly—earning an associate degree from Iowa Central before high school, completing his exercise science bachelor's in four semesters, and finishing a sport and recreation management master's in three. He also addresses disappointment over not being invited to the NFL Combine, argues both he and Gronowski are deserving, and shares how Mark earned trust through competitiveness and steady improvement. The episode closes with Graves' plan for making a 53-man roster and his confidence heading into Iowa's pro day reunion with teammates.
