Former Walk-On Leads Iowa Offensive Line

Iowa City, Iowa — After starting his Iowa career as a walk-on Kyler Schott is one of the veterans on an offensive line that will have several new faces next season.

The former North Linn standout has started games at both guard spots the last two seasons and earned a scholarship prior to the 2020 season. He and center Tyler Linderbaum are the most experienced offensive linemen.

That unit was led by a new coach during spring drills. George Barnett was named the offensive line coach after Tim Polasek left to become the offensive coordinator at Wyoming.

Schott says while the offensive line is young there is a lot of depth and competition will be fierce when fall drills begin.

The Hawkeyes open next season at home on September fourth against Indiana.
