THE DEACON. IT IS NOW THE DEACON HILL ERA FOR THE IOWA OFFENSE IN 2023 WITH CADE MCNAMARA NOW DONE FOR THE SEASON, THE HAWKEYES TURN TO THE SIX THREE SOPHOMORE TO TAKE REINS OF THE UNIT. AND THERE’S A LOT MORE TO THE CALIFORNIA NATIVE THAT MEETS THE EYES. LET’S GET TO KNOW DEACON HILL JUST A LITTLE BIT WHAT YOU HAVE TO KNOW IS THIS. HE COMES FROM A FAMILY OF ATHLETES. HIS MOM AND DAD EACH PLAYED COLLEGE BASKETBALL. AND GET THIS, HIS SISTER, A GOLD MEDALIST IN 2016 FOR THE US OLYMPIC WATER POLO TEAM. YOU COULD SAY HE HAS A LOT TO LIVE UP TO. YEAH, I PROBABLY LACKING A LITTLE BEHIND, BUT YEAH, I THINK IT’S ONE OF MY FAVORITE FACTS TOO IS SAM. YOU KNOW, SHE’S TREMENDOUS. SHE HAS THE SHE’S A GOALIE AT UCLA FOR WATER POLO, HAS THE ALL TIME LEADING SAVES RECORD AND YOU KNOW SHE’S SHE’S STUD BUT AS FAR AS THINGS GO FOR RUNNING THE IOWA OFFENSE, HILL SAYS HE’S GETTING ADVICE FROM BOTH CADE MCNAMARA AND FORMER QUARTERBACK SPENCER PETRAS, WHO SERVING AS A GRAD ASSISTANT. HILL IS GETTING COMFORTABLE WITH HIS NEW ROLE. AND EVERYONE FROM THE CENTER, LOGAN JONES, TO HIS KICKER, ARE CONFIDENT IN THEIR NEW SYSTEM. THEY’RE CORLEY. I THOUGHT HE DID A GREAT JOB THIS PAST SATURDAY, AND, YOU KNOW, HE’S JUST GOING TO CONTINUE TO KEEP IMPROVING AND GROWING. YOU KNOW, THROUGHOUT THE SEASON. HE’S GOT THE COMPETITIVE DRIVE OF, YOU KNOW, I WOULD HAVE LIKE I WOULD HAVE HIM BY MY SIDE IN ANY SPORT, HONESTLY. THEY ALL PLAYED, YOU KNOW, SPENCE WAS HERE FOR ALL OF HIS CAREER CADE HAS EXPERIENCED, KELLER HAS EXPERIENCED ALL OVER. SO TAKING MY TAKING ADVICE FROM ALL OF THEM, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO PUT IT INTO MY GAME IS DEFINITELY A BIG HELP. HILL WILL HAVE THE CHANCE TO SHINE THIS SATURDAY WHEN A PURDUE TEAM THAT RANKS 92ND IN THE COUNTRY IN TOTAL DEFENSE MAKES ITS WAY HERE TO KINNICK STADIUM.
