    Tevaun Smith | WUW 675

    Tevaun joins the show for a second time. He's from Canada, but prepped in Connecticut to expand his recruiting hopes for College. We discuss Desmond King’s potential NFL return and what made King stand out, including his work ethic and habit of asking questions. Smith reflects on the importance of curiosity for young players, shares experiences with Iowa coaches and the program’s demanding culture, and details his recruiting journey from Toronto to a Connecticut prep school before choosing Iowa over UConn, Temple, and a Miami gray-shirt offer. He describes the uncertainty and short leash of being an undrafted NFL player, time with the Colts catching passes from Andrew Luck, injuries that shifted his path, and a successful CFL career amid constant coaching changes. Smith also covers current ventures in insurance and estate planning, real estate investing, a supplement brand in the NAD/NMN space, HYROX training with former teammates, and his Front Seat Pod.

    Iowa Hoops Talk, Cabo Charity Work, and Why Track Speed Isn’t Football Speed | WUW 674

    The Friendship podcast returns! Iowa men’s and women’s basketball, including Iowa’s women suffering a 50-point loss to UCLA and how quickly fan sentiment swings toward blaming coaches. A look ahead to conference tournaments and March Madness, praise the Big East and Arch Madness, and then hear Drake recap a Cabo trip supporting Football for Change, which runs a free football camp and funds community projects like water cisterns, fountains, computers, Starlink internet, and a revamped community center. The group also reacts to Tyler Linderbaum potentially becoming the NFL’s highest-paid center, debates what day of the calendar year best captures the Iowa football player grind, old workout stories, and conversation on why sprinter Kalen Walker’s elite track speed wouldn’t automatically translate to playing wide receiver, while also spotlighting Eddyville, Iowa.

    Hayden Large - Hawkeye TE/FB | WUW 673

    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. He explains how COVID disrupted his senior year, why he chose Dordt, and how entering the portal led to LaVar Woods recruiting him to Iowa, where he became a contributor and embraced the program’s culture. Large reflects on the season’s “what if” close losses, praises leaders like Mark, describes Tight End U under coach Hodge, discusses teammates Reece, DJ, and quarterbacks Hank and Jeremy, and shares NFL Pro Day preparation in Knoxville with former NFL TE Lee Smith for March 23.

    Ethan Hurkett Hawkeye Defensive End | WUW 672

    Ethan Hurkett is from Cedar Rapids, IA and prepped at CR Xavier High School. We got to sit down with him and talk about the transition after finishing his six-year career, his current training routine in Iowa City, and downtime playing Warzone. Hurkett discusses getting married last July, reflecting on his final season and Senior Day vs. Michigan State, and why the 2025 team chemistry felt special under leaders like Mark Gronowski. He explains the impact of revenue sharing/NIL, why he didn’t use an agent early, and how he later vetted NFL agents with help from his dad, who worked in the FBI. The conversation covers Iowa development culture, Coach Parker stories, conditioning memories, favorite game, and Hurkett’s goals for making an NFL roster, plus long-term interests in coaching and training.
