The Iowa Hawkeyes have done it once again up front. They have yet another stud on their offensive line who is the product of patience and development.
Senior offensive lineman Mason Richman has been waiting for his time to shine and that moment appears that it is here just three games into the 2024 college football season. With 45 appearances and 42 stats to his credit, Richman is taking full advantage of his experience.
The success is evident as well. So far this season, Mason Richman is the highest-graded pass-blocking offensive lineman in all of college football per Pro Football Focus.

Mason Richman is delivering on expectations that were high for him entering this season. Before the season he was named to Phil Steele’s Second-Team All-Big Ten team and Athlon’s preseason Fourth-Team All-Big Ten team.
Through three games, the Iowa Hawkeyes’ offensive line has been stout. They have only allowed three sacks and are protecting Cade McNamara, which is allowing him to complete nearly 6% of his passes.
The senior from Blue Valley High School in Leawood, Kansas is the latest Iowa offensive line product to find his stride later in their career. Richman is on the path to join Tyler Linderbaum, Tristan Wirfs, and many other Hawkeye offensive linemen to go have successful NFL careers.
