Iowa football: Three Hawks who could be first round picks in 2021

Over the last few months, we’ve been hearing a lot about the NFL draft potential of Iowa football players AJ Epenesa, Tristan Wirfs, Alaric Jackson, and even third-year quarterback Nate Stanley to an extent.

Epenesa is the most highly touted, often receiving high-praise and widely projected to be a top-10 pick in next year’s draft.

Wirfs and Jackson are two of the top tackle prospects heading into next season. While most value Wirfs a bit more, both could wind up being first-round picks by the end of the next season, and the most polarizing of the four players is Nate Stanley.
