I was hopeful he could end up being a rotational defensive tackle

Iowa will sure be small on the interior next year. Not really a P4 sized interior line.

Who are you talking about? I doubt there will be anyone under 300. Maybe 300 is small these days?

This has been an issue for awhile now
LOL no it hasn't. Do you ever actually look stuff up or just assume things based on your feelings?

The average offensive lineman in P4 is 6'5 and 310.
Richman 6'6 312
Stephens 6'6 322
Jones 6'3 293
Colby 6'6 310
Dunker 6'5 316

Obviously, Jones is considered undersized but he's broken nearly every strength and speed record for an Iowa lineman and will be playing in the NFL in 2026.

By next season all the back ups will be up over 300 and likely in the 310 range.

I was talking about the defensive line with that Brackney transfer. I should have been more clear. I’m also assuming Graves goes pro. That would leave Iowa with no one at 300 or above on the DL.

You posted in the immediate context of a DL leaving the program. I think Monster owes everyone an apology.

Gotcha. By next season with weight gain I'm betting there will be at least one 300+ guy.

Being average sized FEELS undersized yes.
For a program like Iowa especially

D Line is incredibly valuable in NIL. Really tough to keep good ones.

What's the word of Graves staying or going? Seems like a borderline guy this year
