There’s Iowa quarterback Cade McNamara and Hawkeye running back Leshon Williams waving to the UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital with the water tower off to the side.
For those unfamiliar with the tradition at Iowa, after every first quarter at Kinnick Stadium, Hawkeye players and fans turn and wave in unison at the pediatric patients inside the UI Children’s Hospital. It’s a show of support and a wave of hope.
It’s also a recognition that their respective battles are more important than the game of football.
It’s fantastic to see one of college football’s greatest traditions represented in the official trailer for “EA Sports College Football 25.”
