They weren’t just tough as nails. They ate the nails and spit them out at you while they put your offense in a strangle hold. #d2mbb
Ben McCollum on how he thinks prospective high school and portal players will perceive Iowa, considering what the program is accomplishing this season: “If you’re a tough dude, this is a good spot for you. If you’re soft and you like yourself way too much, this is probably not the spot for you. We just try to recruit tough dudes that want to be part of something bigger than themselves, and hopefully people see that.”

To my teammates, coaches, and everyone involved, thank you. I wouldn’t change a damn thing. My heart is full. What an honor and privilege it was to play for the Paw.
Thank you, Northwest Football.

Powerful: Indiana star QB Fernando Mendoza explains why he took his Heisman trophy to the priests at the St. Paul Center at his university.
“I am a Catholic. I am a Catholic man.”
Mendoza will be a future face of the NFL 🙏

Extremely thankful! Couldn’t have done it without my teammates, coaches, teachers, strength staff, athletic trainers, and Northwest Missouri State University. There’s nowhere else I’d rather call home. Forever proud to be a Bearcat.

Congrats to these guys and their well deserved honors! But I have to say, Carter Edwards @cmle99 not being 1st team is laughable! One of the best LBs in a long list of very good ones I have had the opportunity to coach at Northwest!
Four members of the @NWBearcat_FB squad gained 2025 D2CCA All-Super Region 4 honors led by first-team selection Clayton Power.
Power (Stilwell, Kan.) notched first-team status on the defensive line. Offensive linemen senior Wes Merriman (Monett, Mo.) and sophomore Kaleb McCullough (Humboldt, Iowa) are joined by senior linebacker Carter Edwards (St. Louis, Mo.) on the second team.
Power was chosen as a first-team all-MIAA performer and the MIAA's Defensive Lineman of the Year. He ranked second in the MIAA in quarterback sacks (7.5). Power tied for No. 7 in the MIAA in tackles-for-loss (10.0). Power started all 12 games and registered 40 total tackles. He tied for the team lead in interceptions (2). The Bearcat defensive unit led the MIAA in scoring defense (18.0 ppg), total defense (283.9 yards/game), passing defense (159.3 yards/game), defensive passing efficiency (102.6), fewest first downs allowed (188 - 15.7/game) and third-down conversions (29.6%).
Merriman was the starting right guard in all 12 games, while McCullough was the starting left tackle in all 12 contests. Merriman and McCullough were first-team all-MIAA picks on the offensive line. The Bearcat offensive line unit allowed the fewest sacks (15) in the MIAA in 2025. The Bearcats led the MIAA in total touchdowns scored (53), rushing touchdowns (32) and rushing offense (243.1 yards/game).
Edwards was the starting middle linebacker in all 12 contests. He was a unanimous first-team all-MIAA choice at linebacker. Edwards led the Bearcats in tackles (85). He also topped the squad in tackles-for-loss (13.0), forced fumbles (4) and interceptions (2). He tied for second in the MIAA in tackles-for-loss and tied for fifth in the league in sacks (6.0). He led the MIAA in forced fumbles (4). Edwards had a season-high 14 tackles vs. Harding in the NCAA first-round playoff game in Searcy, Ark.
Northwest tied for the second-most Super Region 4 picks with four. Harding led the way with nine selections, including six first-team honorees.
