The Seattle Seahawks drafted Iowa’s Mason Richman in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL draft with the 234th overall pick. He is the third Hawkeye drafted, following running back Kaleb Johnson and defensive tackle Yahya Black.
Kyle DeBarge of the Cedar Rapids Kernels was primarily a catcher for his high-school baseball team in Louisiana. But he got a chance to play shortstop once he went to the University of Louisiana and never left the position. The 33rd-overall pick of last year’s 2024 MLB Draft has played shortstop, second base, left and center field so far this season for the Kernels.
