One of Iowa's prospect camp offers from last summer, 2026 three-star offensive lineman Gene Riordan recently stopped in Iowa City for the Hawkeyes' Junior Day. The 6'5", 280-pound recruit is a product of Hinsdale Central High School in the Chicago suburbs.

Riordan caught up with Hawkeye Beacon to discuss his return to Iowa City, the possibility of being Iowa's fifth OL commit in the 2026 class, why he may ultimately choose the Hawkeyes and more.
