5 things to watch
Second-year kicker Caden Buhr’s season couldn’t have started on a worse note: he missed his first e tra point attempt and pushed his first field goal wide right. The redemption in eek 2, however, was louder than the eek 1 disappointment. Against owa tate, uhr was a perfect 3-for-3 on the night, including the game-winning kick with 15 seconds left. Also standing out was punter oston veritt, who has now only played two American football games. The Australian pinned four of his si punts inside the 2 -yard line, including three inside the 1 . Punt returner van ames had a near-disaster moment against the Cyclones when he let a punt bounce in front of him and roll nearly 2 yards. The owa tate kicking team then tried to grab ames and throw him into the ball. A Cyclone defender ended up touching the ball, causing a scramble for the loose ball, but the Hawkeyes ended up with possession. owa hopes to mitigate those mistakes against orthern llinois, as it’ll be important to not make those same mistakes against ig Ten opponents.
The owa backfield struggled to find room to run on aturday, rushing for 3 total yards, with only 4 through the first three uarters. The Hawkeyes lost transfer Phillips to a high ankle sprain during their eek 1 win, and starting running back Kamari oulton entered the medical tent late against owa tate in eek 2. oulton is still listed as the starter for aturday’s game against orthern owa, but if he takes on less of a workload, owa will look to athan c eil and avier illiams to pick up the slack in the run game. c eil and illiams have both only taken nine carries so far this season, leaving some uncertainty about the running back behind oulton. The room has been praised all o season for its depth, and it could be tested this week if oulton isn’t fully healthy.
Third-year linebacker Cam u ngton showed out with a career performance against owa tate last week, collecting 15 total tackles with nine solo. Through two games, u ngton is averaging 1 .5 stops per game to rank ninth in the nation. u ngton stepped into the middle linebacker role after very limited action in his first two seasons, only playing in si games ahead of this season. The infield, owa native has looked sharp in run defense so far, uickly identifying plays and flying around the field to make tackles. ith ig Ten play looming, u ngton has an opportunity to gain even more confidence against orthern owa on aturday.
orthern owa’s o ense has been e plosive so far this year, averaging 4 points per game and coming o a 5 -14 domination of rake last week. uarterback a on ailey has been the engine of the o ense, throw ing for 52 yards and three touchdowns on a percent completion rate. ailey has also found success on the ground, rushing for three touchdowns in the Panthers’ eek 1 loss at astern ashington. ailey also has plenty of e perience, playing for two years at Arkansas tate before transferring to in 2 25.
owa uarterback Hank rown seemingly wrapped up the starting uarterback job with his performance against owa tate last week, as eremy Hecklinski didn’t see the field against the Cyclones. Hecklinski split time pretty evenly with rown in eek 1, and showed some flashes with nice throws and plays with his legs. Hecklinski went -for-1 for yards, one touchdown, and an interception. This week’s game might be Hecklinski’s final chance for the job, as the Hawkeyes will likely give him some reps.

The Boogeyman
Tony Diaz may have a spooky nickname, but the person behind it isn’t who it seems.
The Boogeyman is an ancient mythical creature used to frighten children into good behavior. The creature’s origin is believed to be nearly 600 years old, but it is still a popular horror subject today. Iowa wide receiver Tony Diaz goes by the nickname “The Boogeyman” because of what he has done to opposing teams’ defenses, and even defenders on his own team. Diaz was given the nickname by University of Texas Rio Grande Valley defensive line coach Nate Langford. After a practice where Diaz said he was “killing the defensive backs,” Langford and the rest of the team started calling him “The Boogeyman.” Just two months later, Diaz got a tattoo on his left arm that reads, “You Can’t Kill The Boogeyman.”
“I kind of just settled with it,” Diaz said. “If that’s the nickname they gave me, I’ll take it and use it.” Some of The Boogeyman’s traits Diaz said he emulates are attacking at 100% and imposing fear on defensive backs with his ability to make plays downfield in one-on-one situations. While the Boogeyman alias might present Diaz in a scary light, the person behind the nickname is quite the opposite.
Diaz was born on July 21, 2006, in Austin, Texas, just over 30 minutes away from his hometown of San Marcos. With two older siblings, Diaz’s childhood was spent outside playing sports. Diaz wanted to be a part of everything, whether it was baseball, flag football, or whatever his siblings were doing. hile most kids had to be at least five years old to join the nearby football rec league, they let Diaz start playing when he was four so he could
play with his older siblings. Football wasn’t the first sport iaz fell in love with, as he played baseball up until his freshman year at San Marcos High School. Diaz said he began focusing on football once he reached high school because he knew he had a brighter future on the gridiron. His baseball career wasn’t over after his freshman season, though, as his mom made him play one last time his senior year. “I knew he was just stuck on football, so I was like, ‘Can you just please play [baseball] one more year?’” Diaz’s mom, Jessica, said. “He had a lot of talent, and I was like, ‘Just play for, mommy.’” essica said she also wanted him to shake o the bad season of football his team had that fall, when they went -1 . iaz played shortstop and center field during his baseball career, and he believes playing center field helped him learn to track down the deep ball on the football field. The fields that iaz played baseball on weren’t in the best shape, but that ended up being good for him in the long run.
“Your reaction time has to be pretty on point, or you’re going to get a black eye, just because there were rocks on the field and stu like that,” essica said. “ ou had to be fast.” iaz also grew up playing basketball and running track, all of which helped him in some way during his football career. The hand-eye coordination from baseball and the speed from track have combined to create a playmaking receiver. “He did it all. ou try to put him on something, he’s going to be the best at it, just out of his pure competitiveness,” essica said. iaz’s competitiveness shows up in the forceful nature with which he catches the football. “He’s really aggressive to the football, and he has been since he showed up,” head coach Kirk Ferentz said. “ hich is a good trait for a receiver. t sounds kind of silly that you would say that, but he is really aggressive to catching the football.” Ferentz also said iaz’s tenacity towards the football is at such a high level that he puts himself at risk of getting injured, but it’s a good temperament to have. That competitive edge hasn’t left iaz since he started college, including o the field. iaz said he and the other owa receivers like to go bowling when they have free time, and things usually get intense. iaz said he likes to go at it with ayton Howard at the bowling lanes, and the trash talk never stops. “He’s actually pretty good,” iaz said with a sly smile. “ t pisses me o a little bit.”
iaz finished his high school career with 5 catches, 2,21 yards, and 2 touchdowns, but he didn’t get much attention on the recruiting trail. ith virtually nowhere to go, iaz went just four hours south of his hometown and joined T ’s brand-new program. T head coach Travis ush said they signed 5 high school recruits to the team, but only used 1 scholarships. iaz received a half-scholarship to play for the a ueros. “ e were just looking for high school guys all over the place,” ush said. “ ut in the landscape of college football, what we realized is there was a lot of really good high school players not getting recruited. Tony was one of them.” ush said the class of 2 24 was simply under-recruited due to the boom of the transfer portal in college football. ith most schools looking for proven talent to add to their team from the portal, many talented, unrecognized high school players were missed in the recruiting process. iaz already had a connection to T before enrolling, as his high school coaches knew ush, so they were able to give iaz an idea of where he was going. T is the southernmost member of the niversity of Te as ystem, just 2 miles north of the e ican border. The school formed in 2 13, combining the now-closed T rownsville and Te as Pan-American. oining a team ahead of a season with no games on the schedule might seem odd, but iaz knew what he was getting into. “Coach ush and his sta down there had a really good picture,” iaz said. “They mapped it out pretty well to me when went on the visit.” essica said the recruiting process was nerve-wracking, especially considering iaz didn’t receive a lot of offers out of high school. iaz had just two o ers Army and T . oth presented great facilities, but T could only tell iaz what their plan was, as its stadium hadn’t even been opened yet. “He was bought in, so that’s what matters,” essica said. “The team, the kids being bought into what the coaches are saying.”
iaz caught passes for 5 yards and 11 touchdowns in the a ueros’ first season in 2 25. He earned Associated Press All-American Honorable ention and Freshman All-American honors by Phil teele in his lone season at T . He also earned Phil teele 2 25 outhland Freshman of the ear and second-team all-conference honors. Those accolades, among many others, gave iaz plenty of buzz as he entered the transfer portal in ecember 2 25. The third-year playmaker received o ers from programs like Alabama, llinois, Kentucky, Arkansas, and irginia Tech before ultimately choosing the Hawkeyes. hen iaz started visiting those schools, essica wasn’t able to go on the visits with him when he was in the transfer portal. He called her while she was at work to give her updates on his visit with the Hawkeyes. hile iaz was telling his mom about the visits he was planning for the ne t week, she asked him what he liked about owa. iaz went on and on about what he liked, but essica just had one uestion for him. “ was like, ou do know it’s cold The alley was super hot, your shoes were melting on the turf,’” essica said. “ told him, ou’re going to be dealing with some other weather.’” The cold weather didn’t bother iaz one bit, as he called his mom later that night to tell her that he made his decision. “He called me back, and he was like, om, think ’m going to go with owa. t just feels right,’” essica said. “And told him, This is your call, you’re going to have to go day in and day out in practices, you’re going to have to live there.’” was like, hatever you feel is right, stick to that.’” essica said that moment made her emotional, as the entire process of entering the transfer portal made iaz overwhelmed, and she was glad he made his decision. n an. , iaz o cially committed to owa, and while he
turned down a big-name school like Alabama, it isn’t just about the name on the front of the jersey for iaz. “ know Alabama is a big school, but at the end of the day, it’s where you’re going to fit best,” iaz said at a media availability on uly 15. “ think me coming here and talking to Coach Ferentz and Coach ester on the phone compared to the Alabama coaches, liked it better here.” nce Hawkeye fans started learning about iaz and seeing his highlight tape from T , the hype for the wide receiver only grew as the season neared. This hype was also pushed by Ferentz at ig Ten edia ays on uly 2 , when he compared iaz to owa legends ob anders and arshall anda. “ ob anders wanted to tackle you, arshall anda wanted to block you, Tony iaz wants to catch the ball,” Ferentz said. iaz said he leans on his training to prepare him for pressure situations and e pectations. “ ou fall back to the level of your training,” iaz said. “ f you train the right way, at 1 , when the bullets start flying, you just fall back on your training.”
iaz’s Hawkeye debut started early, picking up his first catch on the third play of the 4 - win over orthern llinois for a 1 -yard gain for a first down. iaz wasn’t done there. Two plays later, iaz grabbed his second catch on a drag route over the middle for a 1 -yard gain. n third and goal, iaz capped o the drive with his first touchdown catch, snagging a Hank rown throw over the middle. hile it was just one of many touchdown passes iaz has hauled in during his career, he was so e cited about the moment
that he couldn’t even think. “It was loud,” Diaz said. “I kind of just blanked out a little bit and spun the ball. It was crazy for sure. It was something to remember.” Jessica was sitting in the second row at Kinnick Stadium with her mom, her kids, her sister, and her sister’s husband to watch Diaz’s Iowa debut. “I was just proud,” Jessica said about seeing Diaz’s touchdown catch. “Everybody was screaming; they were shaking me like, ‘Yeah, Mom!’ I’m pretty calm when it comes to games, so they were screaming, and I was just clapping, but I was proud.” Diaz finished with seven receptions on 13 targets for 84 yards and a touchdown, along with 10 rushing yards. Diaz said he believes he lived up to expectations with his performance, not the outside expectations, but his own. In fact, his 84 receiving yards that day surpassed his 2025 per-game average by 11 yards.
While Diaz is now over 1,000 miles away from his hometown, he still feels the support every day. Diaz said people from home and his former teammates at UTRGV text him before games.
“It’s nice to know I have their support and for me to go out there and hold it down for them back at home,” Diaz said. Bush said everyone at UTRGV continues to keep up with Diaz and wishes him the best. He also knew that Diaz would do well and compete no matter where he went out of the transfer portal. “I can’t wait to see one of [Iowa’s] 11 a.m. games while we’re sitting in a hotel watching,” Bush said. “I’m just proud of him and what he’s done, not only what he’s meant for us and helping us get this thing started, but really excited for his future.” Jessica appreciates seeing her son in articles written by local Texas media that still follow his story, and said he’s always welcome back at his high school. “He’s always working out over there or going to the game, supporting the boys,” Jessica said. “He’s just grown up here, so when he comes back, his friends, his people are around him the majority of the time.” Diaz said most of his childhood friends don’t play sports anymore, so he’s always grateful to be able to play the game he loves.
Diaz smiled when asked to describe his personality, saying he is “very outgoing,” and his teammates and former coach agree with that. “Just the most likable guy you can ever meet,” Bush said.
“Always in a good mood. The guy loved to practice, loved to compete. Just so fun to be around. He signed up for all the community service stuff, going to elementary schools, going to watch the other sports. Just a phenomenal guy and what we needed to set the culture here.” Diaz’s sociable personality also helps him on the field and in meeting rooms, as third-year receiver Reece Vander Zee said that Diaz brings a great vibe to the room. “He’s a great dude. He’s a listener, he’s a learner,” Vander Zee said. “He asks a bunch of questions.” Quarterback Jeremy Hecklinski said Diaz is one of his closest friends on the team, and their connection off the field is crucial for their relationship on the field. “The bond between quarterback and receiver is important,” Hecklinski said. “To have that off-the-field relationship is really good.” “Tony’s got a dynamic personality, and he’s a leader,” quarterback Hank Brown said. “He’s stepping into that leadership role, and I’m just excited to continue to grow with that.” While Diaz is outgoing and loves to crack jokes with his teammates, he also enjoys simply hanging out with his teammates at one of their houses. “[I’m] just kind of laid back, not much to do in Iowa, you know,” Diaz said with a laugh. When The Boogeyman steps onto the field, he strikes fear into the opposing defense, but when Tony Diaz comes off the gridiron, his outgoing but laid-back personality shines.
Special teams is winning How first-year coordinator Chris Polizzi’s unit has helped the Hawkeyes off to a 2-0 start.
Whether it’s worn on t-shirts, ballcaps, or even baby bibs, “Punting is winning” has been proudly adopted by Hawkeye fans since the great Tory Taylor dominated college football with his cannon of a right foot. However, this season, it’s not just punting that’s winning games for Iowa. It’s the special teams unit as a whole. Despite concerns after the departure of longtime coordinator LeVar Woods, as well as turnover at nearly every position, Iowa’s special teams unit has thrived early on under first-year coordinator Chris Polizzi. Boston Everitt has continued Iowa’s tradition of elite punting. The second-year transfer out of Melbourne University in Australia played a large role in the Hawkeyes’ 16-13 win over Iowa State. Everitt amassed 264 yards on six punts, averaging 44 yards per attempt. Three of his six punts were downed inside Iowa State’s 10-yard line, including one that was downed at the three-yard line.
“The punts were landing well,” Everitt said. “It’s a good feeling, but at the end of the day it's just trying to replicate that. Once you’ve done it, whether it’s good or bad, it’s just flushing it and focusing on the next one.” Head Coach Kirk Ferentz has taken notice of Everitt's glowing character. “He’s an easy young guy to like,” Ferentz said. “He’s always upbeat, and he works really hard on the field.” Fellow special teamsman and kicker Caden Buhr has quickly built consistency of his own following a shaky start to the season. After missing a PAT and a 53-yard field goal attempt, the second-year Bettendorf, Iowa, native hasn’t missed a kick since.
“A big part of kicking that people might not see is the mental side, training your mind every day and always keeping a positive mindset,” Buhr said. In fact, Buhr’s leg was the decisive factor in the Hawkeyes’ win over Iowa State, going three-for-three on field goal attempts. However, none was more important than the 42-yard field goal with 15 seconds re-
maining in the game. “It was unbelievable,” Buhr said. “Words can’t describe the feeling when you’re out on the field with your teammates, you’ve dreamed of it your whole life, and you get the opportunity.” While Iowa’s return team was held quiet against Iowa State, Evan James’ 77-yard punt return touchdown was one of many
highlights in the Hawkeyes’ 40-0 win over Northern Illinois. Additionally, in its season opener, Iowa’s coverage unit showcased its speed and physicality with a multitude of pulverising hits. Polizzi’s unit looks to continue its hot start and help the Hawkeyes to another win against Northern Iowa on Saturday.

Trials and Tribulations How Kid Captain Beau Harvey Spent His Childhood Battling Multiple Health Defects and a Heart Transplant.
“What did you see in yourself as you went through this journey?” was the question asked to Beau Harvey, Iowa’s week three Kid Captain. Instead of words, Beau responded with emotion. Jared Harvey, his father, immediately stood up from the table, returning with a brightly colored tissue box for Beau to pull from, wiping the sudden tears from his cheeks. Kelsey Harvey, his mother, rested her arm on his back as she whispered, “It’s okay, baby.” After a moment of silence, Kelsey put Beau’s journey into simple words: “It was scary.” At 28 weeks pregnant, during her second ultrasound, doctors diagnosed Kelsey’s soon-to-be-born son, Beau, with hypoplastic right heart syndrome—a rare congenital defect in which the heart’s right side is underdeveloped. Although the situation was haunting, the Harvey family was thankful the issue was found sooner rather than later, providing hope for a relatively quick discharge after open-heart surgery. Instead, that was only the beginning of Beau’s longtime journey. On top of his first heart condition, Beau was diagnosed with two other rare defects: total anomalous pulmonary

venous return, when pulmonary veins drain into the right atrium instead of the left, and heterotaxy syndrome, where chest and abdominal organs are not in the correct locations. “The reaction was complete surprise,” Kelsey said. “The day we found out was just a regular day. We had no idea, and they found it with the ultrasound. It was wild, you know, something that we’d never heard of before.” Born at 39 weeks, Beau underwent the first of his three open-heart surgeries only a few hours into the world. The newborn’s emergency procedure was successful, sending relief through the Harvey family. However, the theme of spiraling issues continued, as Beau went into cardiac arrest the following day. “It just kept snowballing,” Kelsey said. “It was a shock, but you just went with it because what else were you going to do?” After receiving his second surgery three weeks later, Kelsey wanted nothing more but to be lifted from rock bottom. Soon enough, it was as if she manifested her wish into existence. “So I finished my residency and then started a job in Waterloo,” Kelsey explained. “We were discharged from Michigan and moved the same day back to Iowa, a home we’d never seen. So for [Stead Family Children’s Hospital] to welcome Beau with open arms, like, ‘Here’s this baby, just a couple months old and past an open-heart surgery.’ They were fabulous.” At the age of one, Beau received his final surgery, with the procedure ending successfully. Nonetheless, the Harvey family’s plan of not remaining too optimistic came into play, as Beau developed yet another rare condition. Diagnosed with plastic bronchitis, a condition that causes lymph fluid to build up in the airways and form rubbery plugs, known as casts, Beau was then taken in for another surgery in Philadelphia. “He was the 72nd person in the world to have the procedure done,” Kelsey said. “It took two tries while we were out there, but they were successful. He had a really, really good result, and we got a good six years out of that particular procedure before the plastic bronchitis came back.” During those six years, Beau’s parents described him as “just being a kid”. However, at the age of 12 when the disease returned, Stead doctors suggested a heart transplant as the next best option. For some heart transplant searches, it can take years. For Beau, it only took three months. In November of 2025, Beau underwent a 14-hour-long heart transplant surgery. Now, he is thriving in his sophomore year of high school, playing on the football team, while looking forward to being in Kinnick Stadium on Saturday as a Kid Captain. “I was hoping that he could have something big like this after such a rough year,” Kelsey said when describing the family’s reaction to Beau’s Kid Captain selection. “We’re just
so grateful to everybody. All the care that Beau’s gotten and the support that’s come from the community and everyone at the hospital… we’re super lucky.”
Hawkeyes sneak by Iowa State, look ahead to Northern Iowa Iowa’s special teams and defense were on full display against the Cyclones.
it mattered most last week, forcing the Cyclones to punt on four of their last five drives of the game, with the clock running out on their final drive.
After just sneaking by rival Iowa State last week, Iowa football looks to turn the page to its final non-conference game against orthern owa. After the 1 -13 victory over the Cyclones, the Hawkeyes now hold all four traveling rivalry trophies Cy-Hawk, Floyd of osedale, Heartland, and Heroes. The Hawkeyes and Panthers will meet for the first time since 2 1 , when owa won 3 -14. The Hawkeyes hold a 1 -1 record against , including 1 straight wins. owa second-year kicker Caden uhr nailed a 42-yard field goal with 15 seconds remaining in the game to beat owa tate on aturday. That game-winning kick, along with a perfect 3-for-3 day, earned him ig Ten pecial Teams Player of the Week. The winning kick marked the 1 th time since 2 15 that the Hawkeyes have won on a field goal in the final 3 seconds of the fourth uarter. uhr’s owa career started as bad as it gets, missing his first e tra point and field goal attempts of the season against orthern llinois in eek 1. The ettendorf, owa, native bounced back in eek 2. “ ust a lot of training,” uhr said about where his confidence comes from. “A big part of kicking people might not see is the mental side, and training your mind every single day like, Hey, you got this,’ and always keeping a positive mindset.”
The Panthers sit at 1-1 on the year, coming o a dominating win over rake, 5 -14. The o ense has been o to a hot start, averaging 4 points per game.
The o ense starts with graduate uarterback a on ailey, who’s thrown for 52 yards on percent completion and three touchdowns. ailey also rushed for three scores in the Panthers’ loss at astern ashington in eek 1. has also rushed for seven touchdowns through two games, but has averaged just 3.4 yards per carry as a team. The production, however, has come from a bevy of running backs, with si backs rushing for 3 or more yards so far this year.
owa’s defense has been rock solid through its first two games, pitching a shutout against orthern llinois in eek 1 and holding owa tate to just 255 total yards and 13 points. The Hawkeyes are leading the nation in firstdown defense, rank fifth in scoring, and si th
in passing defense. Iowa also ranks seventh in total defense. Third-year linebacker Cam u ngton leads the s uad in tackles with 21, including a careerhigh 15 against the Cyclones. t was the most tackles recorded in one game for the Hawkeyes since ay Higgins in 2 24. “We knew it was going to be a tough battle,” u ngton said after the game on aturday. “They showed up and played, kudos to them, good team. e knew it was going to be a battle no matter the circumstance, so it feels really good.” owa’s defense has historically struggled against mobile uarterbacks, but it held owa tate uarterback aylen aynor in check, both on the ground and through the air. aynor ran for just 1 yards on eight carries and threw for 11 yards on 53 percent completion. The Hawkeye defense also stepped up when
The owa run game struggled to get going early, as the Hawkeyes only had 4 yards on the ground through the first three uarters. ensive guard eighton ones said owa tate’s defensive line stunts and blitzes caused some trouble for owa up front. “They did a lot of games and twists up front to get us o our double teams, and it eventually turned into three-man combos instead of twoman combos,” ones said at media availability on ept. 15. “ feel like as long as we’re stepping and running together, feel like it made it a bit easier.” hile the run game wasn’t there for most of the night, uarterback Hank rown made timely plays through the air. rown finished the game 21-of-3 for 1 1 yards and a rushing touchdown. n the second uarter, rown completed a crucial 5 -yard deep pass to receiver Tony iaz to set owa up inside the 1 for an eventual touchdown. That play helped rown gain confidence to push the ball downfield. “ ’m getting to put that on display, and missing two right before that and coming back and trusting in Tony iaz that he’s going to go make a play,” rown said. “ efinitely confident, and Coach Tim ester, once again, put me in a good situation there.” hile there’s no clear starter named yet for the matchup against , rown has a chance for a tune-up game ahead of ichigan in eek 4 to start ig Ten play. The Hawkeyes and Panthers will face o on aturday, ept. 1 , at Kinnick tadium, with kicko set for 3 5 p.m. CT on F 1.
