Matt was born in Phoenix AZ but grew up and graduated an Iowa boy, spending his prep years at Dowling Catholic High School. Kluver competed in travel sports as kids against Matt, who happens to be one of Jon Wiz's best friends from Dowling. Kluver and Matt would later play in Shrine Bowl together before heading off to college. Matt was a talented athlete with some interest as a WR but happened into a boom of Punting interest his junior year. This odd skill landed him a scholarship at Arizona State University where he would go on to start for 3 years and play next to college great Zane Gonzalez. Matt was picked up as a free agent after graduating and has now spent 6 seasons in the NFL with 4 teams. We discuss his wild rise to the League, the ins and outs of special teams in the NFL, the contrast between organizations and a whole lot more!If you love the show and want to show support, tell your friends!

Zach, brother of Tyler, is also from Marshalltown but ended up going to high school in Ankeny, playing for Jaguars of Centennial. He never planned on playing college football, until a coach recruiting Riley Moss, his high school teammate, mentioned something to Tyler in late 2017. That sparked a multi year process of scratching and clawing his way into the program. His career lasted 2 years before he decided to move on, but sits as an example of how many, maybe the majority of walk on careers actually play out. And highlights the effort and work put in regardless of shining in the spotlight of college football like the star players. Zach also talks about when the racial discrimination drama hit Iowa, and what it was like for him and several of his teammates who were 8 weeks fresh in the program- and what the team meeting was like that day it all went down.If you love the show and want to show support, tell your friends!

The boys discuss a wide variety of topics most notably how we get to a point with the brand that we can hire Grant full time and Kevin can quit his job.

At the end of the episode we bring back our Walkon Top 5 segment with our favorite ice cream flavors.

Caleb is from Council Bluffs, IA. He recently in 2021 finished up his career in Iowa City as an Iowa Hawkeye, but that wasn't always the known ending in his story. He played 6 seasons with the Hawks, something that would only happen when a pandemic hits, and he waited his turn for 5 of those seasons to really be the feature of the Iowa kicking game. He talks about sitting behind guys like Miguel Recinos and Keith Duncan, and what it was like to battle them for the job. He discusses his major injury setback that could have very well ended his career. What it was like when the world shut down and how the D1 football life at Iowa looked when you couldn't go anywhere or do anything. He describes his eventual path to a scholarship, training for the NFL, and now his time in Tennessee where he looks to be the front runner for the job.If you love the show and want to show support, tell your friends!

Fellow resident in the infamous Benton house and best friend of the podcast, Ike has carved his way through 5 years in the NFL almost exclusively with the Buffalo Bills.

He was name Gatorade Player of The Year in his senior season. Ryan saw early interest in recruiting from a variety of schools but grew up a Hawk fan, and talks about the visit that started to turn the tide on him eventually ending up in the Black and Gold. His career was unique, and saw him not only transfer out of Iowa after graduating in 3 years, but also try out multiple positions as a Hawkeye. He discusses the reasons for that, wanting to contribute and get playing time, and ultimately pursuing his full potential elsewhere. This conversation gets more serious or 'deep' than we often go on the Walkons, and shows some very real behind the scenes action of how a D1 football players journey is usually more than just roses.If you love the show and want to show support, tell your friends!

Seth is from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. A product of Washington high school and one hell of an athlete bloodline. A typical under recruited kid relative to the D1 scene, he fielded offers from the Dakota schools and the like before the Hawks came knocking. After coming into the program with the head down work hard mindset, looking to get playing time on special teams, Seth found himself as a staple of those units already in year 2, and a starting Mike Linebacker in year 3. His career would blossom into 'one of the most underrated' of all time according to fellow LB Jack Campbell, and Seth was a vital part of the Hawkeye Defense for the last 3 seasons. We discuss his path to Iowa City, the crazy 2020 covid season, some of his favorite memories from the LB room, his plans after football and more!If you love the show and want to show support, tell your friends!

Riley is from Ankeny, Iowa. Played high school football at Ankeny Centennial, and was one of those guys who Iowa finds and takes a chance on that other Division 1 programs seem to miss.
