Watch out for Max White. Yes, that Max White—the walk-on who keeps showing up in practice highlights. He’s got sneaky speed and hands like glue. If he gets a chance, he could be this year’s feel-good story.
I’m not saying he’ll be a star. But I’m also not not saying that. You know me—I’m a sucker for an underdog.
The Bottom Line
Iowa’s running back room in 2026 is deep, talented, and unexpectedly exciting. It’s like finding a twenty-dollar bill in an old coat. Pure delight.
Will they carry the offense to Big Ten glory? Probably not—the passing game still needs work. But will they keep you entertained on Saturdays? Absolutely.
So grab your popcorn, your favorite hoodie, and a lukewarm beer. The Iowa running backs are about to put on a show. And honestly? That’s more than we hoped for.
