Iowa’s durable, high-IQ line anchor with pro-caliber versatility
Austin Blythe was a four-year starter for Iowa from 2012-2015, logging 49 career starts and the final 45 in a row, while helping the Hawkeyes win 31 games and a Big Ten West title in his senior season. He stood out for toughness, flexibility across the interior line, and leadership—he was named a permanent offensive team captain in 2015 and earned all-Big Ten and All-America recognition. Why care? He’s the kind of rock-solid, assignment-sure lineman coaches trust immediately: not flashy, but reliable, battle-tested, and built for physical football.
