Anyways, I wouldn't want to be a defensive lineman when we get into the red zone! Can you picture the size and strength of our goal-line formations this fall!!!

Thats part of the reason why Corey Lewis will have a breakout year and Sanders will rarely be touched.
The guys have been lifting some serious weights too. This will be a fun group to watch.Comment

72 Days Till Kickoff!!!
#72 is for Matt Adams, the 6'2"/272lbs Redshirt Freshman O-Lineman from Carroll-Kuemper HS. Matt looks to crack the two deeps this fall on the offensive line. In high school, Matt was an all-district performer. Currently, he is a Business Finance major. Good luck this fall Matt!
----------------------------------------------------------------
71 Days Till Kickoff!!!
#71 is for Bob Swift, the 6'6"/306lbs Sophomore Right Guard from West Delaware HS. Bob will most likely be backing up Barrett Anderson at right guard this fall. Bob played in all fifteen games as a redshirt freshman last year. Without such a strong offensive line returning, there is no doubt that Bob would probably be starting this year, especially with his huge size. Bob is a former all-stater in football, and a state championship wrestling participant. Good luck this fall Bob!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
70 Days Till Kickoff!!!
#70 is for Joe Lobdell, the 6'6"/277 lbs Senior Offensive Tackle from Lena, Illinois. Joe is listed as starting left tackle for UNI heading into the fall. Joe was an Honorable Mention All-Gateway performer last year, while starting all fifteen games. He has played in a total of 24 games as a Panther, and has played on both sides of the ball during his Panther tenure. Joe is a former all-state HM in Illinois. Good luck this fall Joe!

Good luck this upcoming year Barrett!
------------------------------------------------------------------
68 Days Till Kickoff!!!
#68 is for Levi Whitmire, the 6'5"/258lbs Sophomore Right Tackle from Aplington-Parkersburg HS. Levi is listed as the 2nd string RT for the Panthers heading into the fall. Levi played in two games as a redshirt freshman last year, and looks to get more playing time this fall, as he begins to crack the two-deeps. Levi is a former Iowa HS all-stater. Good luck this fall Levi!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
67 Days Till Kickoff!!!
#67 is for Adam Falk, the 6'3"/290lbs Junior Left Tackle from Lodi, Wisconsin. Adam is listed as the 2nd string LT heading into the fall.

64 Days Till Kickoff!!!
#64 is for Codie Fetters, the 6'4"/250lbs Redshirt Freshman Center from Eldora-New Providence HS. Codie is listed as the backup center heading into the fall, but my guess is that Codie will push Eric Hoffman very hard for that starting position. Codie is an intelligent lineman, who was ranked as the #6 1-AA HS recruit just last season. Codie is a former all-stater, and is also a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Good luck this season Codie!

#58 is for Osayi Ehigiamusoe, the 6'1"/221lbs Redshirt Freshman Linebacker from Concordville, Pennsylvania. Osayi is listed as a reserve in the linebacker group. With the departure of Heideman and Koebcke, look for increased playing time to go to Osayi this season. He was was named Scout Team Defensive Player of the Year last year.

Good luck this upcoming season Osayi!The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

56 Days Till Kickoff!!!
#56 is for Dave Schratz, the 6'0"/229lbs Senior Outside Linebacker from Garfield, NJ and Iowa Central CC. Dave is listed as the starting right outside linebacker heading into pre-season. Dave played in all fifteen games last season, while recording 43 tackles last season, with 1.5 going for a loss. Dave is expected to fill in for the graduated Brett Koebcke. There is no doubt that UNI will look to Dave for veteran leadership in the linebacker group this fall. Good luck this season Dave!
---------------------------------------------------------------

#55 is for Andrew Williams, the 6'2"/224lbs Senior Inside Linebacker from Kirkwood, Missouri. Andrew is listed as the 2nd string ILB, behind Justin Kirk.

#48 is for Cyrus Garrett, the 6'1"/246lbs Senior Linebacker from Bolingbrook, Illinois. Cyrus is listed as one of the starting outside linebackers heading into the pre-season camp. Garrett transferred last season from the University of Illinois, after being named to the US Army All-American team as a senior in high school. Last season, Cyrus played in 13 games, while starting four (mostly playing fullback). Last year, Cyrus filled in well at the fullback spot, with his power running, blocking, and catching skills.

45 Days Till Kickoff!!!
#45 is for Adam Kos, the 6'0"/204lbs Senior Punter from Mid-Prairie HS. Adam will be the starting punter for the second straight year this fall. Adam was the starting punter in all fifteen games last season, compiling 69 punts for an average of 39.8 yards per punt. 15 of Kos' 69 punts landed inside the 20, while 15 were fair catches, and only one was blocked. His season long punt was 63 yards against Illinois State. One of Kos' biggest moments came last year in the Texas State game, when his punt was called back as a first and ten for the Panthers, when he "embelished" his run-in with a TSU player on his punt. The highlight ran numerous times on ESPN, alongside the shots of Kos smiling from ear to ear on the sidelines. Look for Kos to have another great year for the Panthers! Good luck this fall Adam!

Good luck this season Grant!
