Trent Wilson brings starter-level guard experience and Iowa-style nastiness to the Hawkeyes
In the 2026 season, Trent Wilson arrives at Iowa as a battle-tested interior lineman after logging 382 snaps and starting once for James Madison in 2025, working at both left and right guard. His fit is obvious: he’s a thick, physical mauler with the kind of grit Iowa coaches love, plus the flexibility to compete for a starting guard spot right away. The upside is real, but the bigger sell is his plug-and-play toughness, versatility, and early-career composure against good competition.
