Class of 2026 offensive tackle Braden Wilmes was among the top underclassmen recruits in town for the Hawkeye Tailgater on Saturday. For the 6-foot-8, 285-pound Kansas native, it was a good opportunity to spend more time with the Iowa coaching staff and get a better understanding of the football program. We caught up with Wilmes after the visit to get a complete update.
