Summer workouts have come to a close and the Hawkeyes are enjoying some time off throughout the next couple of weeks before they get back at it. That doesn't mean things have stopped completely. Let's dive into a couple of the storylines that will be worth paying attention to.

There's nobody more experienced with the game of football than Tom Moore. That's why it made perfect sense for him to return to Iowa, which is exactly where he got his start in the sport.

Dominating the trenches is something that has been essential to Iowa football since Kirk Ferentz took over in 1999. Tough, smart and physical football translates across any scheme the game offers. That's going to be one of the biggest questions entering the season.

There have been thousands of words written about Iowa's quarterback battle. In an era where true quarterback competitions are becoming increasingly rare, Kirk Ferentz has had this plan in place for more than a year.

It has been a busy offseason for the Iowa women's squad. After putting together a new roster and implementing a new style of play, they are excited to get a short break before getting back to action. They are poised to be a top-14 team entering this upcoming season.

It's officially preseason rankings season. There are still a ton of questions around the country about some of the top teams but we also have a much more clear picture compared to spring. On Tuesday morning, the Coaches Poll was unveiled and Iowa was ranked inside of it.

The 2027 and 2028 recruiting classes will be interesting for Iowa given the new five-for-five ruling. There have been 'difficult conversations' with prospects but the Hawkeyes are leaving the door open for flexibility and are prioritizing building relationships with those classes.

Kinnick Stadium will be packed in one month as Iowa gears up for its season-opener against Northern Illinois. The boys are back on the field today as fall camp is underway. The Hawkeyes are replacing a ton of production but there's confidence in Iowa City that they'll be fielding together a really solid squad.

The Hawkeyes are off and running in Fall Camp. It's finally starting to feel like we're returning back to football season and that's something we all needed. Throughout the next few weeks, HawkeyeInsider will be giving you in-depth previews to the team and much more.

The Hawkeyes are poised to have another big season on the hardwood. Jan Jensen and her staff have had a busy offseason as they replaced multiple pieces, explored the transfer portal and implemented a new offensive approach.
