Iowa’s hard-nosed walk-on fullback who earned every snap
Drake Kulick’s value at Iowa has always been about more than box-score noise: he’s a classic Hawkeye fullback built on toughness, lead-blocking grit, and dependable, team-first football. In the 2017 season, he even added a memorable goal-line touchdown against Ohio State, but his real edge was his willingness to do the dirty work and absorb contact for others. He also fought back from a serious leg injury earlier in his career, which underscores the resilience and intensity that made him a respected piece of Iowa’s culture. If you want a blue-collar tone-setter, he fits the Hawkeyes mold perfectly.
