Fight for Iowa - Bennett Stirtz + Spring Football

Iowa basketball standout Bennett Stirtz headlines this week’s show after being named the recipient of the Chris Street Award, honoring the Hawkeye who best exemplifies passion, toughness, and competitive spirit. The First Team All-Big Ten selection capped a remarkable season—averaging 20 points and leading Iowa to its first Elite Eight since 1987—while cementing his place among the program’s all-time single-season scoring leaders. Dolph sits down with Stirtz to reflect on his journey from Northwest Missouri State to a historic run in Iowa City and what lies ahead with the NBA Draft approaching.

On the football side, spring practice has wrapped as the Hawkeyes turn toward offseason development and preparation for fall camp. A major storyline: replacing standout specialists. New kicker Eli Ozick, a transfer from North Dakota State, discusses adjusting to Iowa and building momentum after an All-American season. Plus, hear from Australian punter Boston Everett as he embraces the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of recent Hawkeye greats, alongside competition from in-state standout Tanner Philpott.

It’s a packed episode featuring award winners, rising stars, and a look ahead to the next chapter of Hawkeye football.
