Walking on to the Iowa football program is becoming a Considine family tradition. Sean Considine walked on at Iowa early in the Kirk Ferentz era with Hawkeyes and became not just a starter at safety in the Hawkeye secondary, but a very good one.

Considine earned All-Big Ten and Academic All-American honors before departing Iowa as a fourth-round draft pick to the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2005 NFL Draft. He went on to have an eight-year NFL career with the Eagles, Jacksonville Jaguars, Carolina Panthers, Arizona Cardinals, and Baltimore Ravens. Considine wrapped up his professional career by helping the Ravens win Super Bowl XLVII.

Now the next generation of Considines may be walking on at Iowa. Caden Considine, a 6'0", 205-lb prospect in the Class of 2026, announced on Sunday that he earned a preferred walk-on offer from Iowa after camping at Iowa yesterday.

Given his family lineage, Iowa coaches have been aware of the younger Considine for some time, but his performance at the camp turned some heads among the Iowa coaches, resulting in the PWO offer.

“At this camp, I ran the second fastest 40 time at 4.52 and then broad jumped 9 foot, 11 inches,” Considine told Hawkeye Report. “Both were among the top scores at the camp being 205 lbs. The numbers and reps I got were great.”

Considine played fullback and linebacker at Byron High School in Byron, IL last fall, but worked as a linebacker at the Iowa camp yesterday.
