Jones, Stephens earn AP All-America honors for Iowa football

IOWA CITY — The Iowa football offensive line honors continue rolling in.

Beau Stephens and Logan Jones were named First Team Associated Press All-Americans Monday morning.

The Hawkeyes have also had at least one player earn first team honors in All-Big Ten, The Athletic, USA Today and Walter Camp.

Jones was also named the 2025 Rimington Trophy winner Friday night, honoring college football’s best center, making him the second player in program history to earn the trophy. He was an Outland Trophy finalist this year, too. Jones has started at center in at least 12 games every season since 2022.

Stephens earned First Team All-Big Ten honors this year by the conference’s coaches, and a Second Team selection by the media. He’s also started in every game over the last two seasons.

The Big Ten had 10 representatives on the first team this year between offense and defense.

The Hawkeyes have had at least one first or second team AP All-Americans for the last 12 consecutive seasons, beginning in 2014, and five consecutive years with at least one player on the first team.

Iowa’s entire offensive line was named one of three finalists for the Joe Moore Award, given to the best offensive line in the country. The Hawkeyes helped generate 315.2 yards of offense per game, only allowing 16 sacks on quarterback Mark Gronowski.

The Hawkeyes end their 2025 season on New Year’s Eve against No. 14 Vanderbilt in the ReliaQuest Bowl in Tampa, Florida.
