The annual hay bale toss at Solon Beef Days regularly draws Hawkeye football players who want to earn offseason bragging rights over their teammates. On Friday night, it was youth taking the day against experience.
Offensive lineman Kade Pieper, a redshirt freshman from Norfolk, Nebraska, took home the championship belt. Teammate and senior offensive lineman Tyler Elsbury of Byron, Illinois, came in second.
The Hawkeyes kick off the 2024 season when they host Illinois State on Saturday, August 31st. As of Saturday morning, the October 12th game against Washington was the only game that was not sold out.
