Coach’s comment: Dewayne led the Hawkeyes in rushing yards and touchdowns in 2025. A difficult runner to tackle as he never gives you too much to grab. He stays low to the ground while having the lower body strength and speed to break and arm tackle and explode to the open field. Dewayne will be one of the top running backs in the conference entering his senior year.
