Iowa offensive line leader named to ESPN's top 100 college football players of 2025
Gronowski can only be as good as his offensive line, and that starts right in the middle with his veteran center, Logan Jones, who is back for another year at Iowa before certainly heading to the NFL to play on Sundays.
Logan Jones is a senior for the Hawkeyes and has molded himself into the quintessential Iowa offensive lineman. He is mean and nasty while understanding the game at a supremely high level. He makes Tim Lester's offense go as much as the quarterback.
His production and expectations have landed him among ESPN's top 100 college football players for 2025 at No. 98.
98. Logan Jones
C, Iowa, senior2024 stat: 1 sack allowed2024 postseason ranking: NR
The 6-foot-3, 302-pound Jones is the linchpin of the Hawkeyes' line who helped running back Kaleb Johnson have a breakout season in 2024. A converted defensive lineman, Jones has settled in well to the role and turned himself into one of the most consistent centers in the country. - Paolo Uggetti, ESPN
Jones is smart, strong, and tough, which makes him such a strong cog at the center of the offensive line. In Tim Lester's offense, which has wrinkles from prior Iowa schemes, Jones needs to know the calls, the checks, and the protection. He handles all things in unison with the quarterback to make this thing go.
A local product from Council Bluffs, Iowa, Logan Jones embodies doing whatever it takes to be great. He came to Iowa on the defensive side of the ball but trusted the coaching staff when they moved him over to offense, and has not just accepted it, but taken off into one of the best centers in all of college football.

WWE? Hollywood? Rugby? What megastar Maher might do next
Women's Rugby World Cup: England v United States Venue: Stadium of Light, Sunderland Date: Friday, 22 August Kick-off: 19:30 BST Coverage: Live on BBC One, BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Sport website and app. Ilona Maher says she is contemplating an offer to enter professional wrestling with the WWE after playing for the United States at the Women's Rugby World Cup. The 29-year-old social media sensation, who has nearly nine million followers across her Instagram, TikTok and X channels, has previously appeared on Dancing with the Stars and was named as 2025's best breakthrough athlete at US broadcaster ESPN's prestigious Espy award show. "I've been approached before by the WWE," she told BBC Sport, joking that her ring name would be 'Maher-vellous'. "I don't know if I would [go into wrestling]. I should think about it, there is great money in it." Maher says that if she did get into wrestling it would be with the aim of progressing into Hollywood. "I would love to get into the acting space and the scripted space. I think a Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson, John Cena progression - I would love to do that," she added. "It would be exciting to see my body type on the screen. I'll start off small - probably like a hot assassin or something, let's not get too crazy! "I'm not going to be in a rom-com just yet. "We'll see. The world is open, but I do see myself coming back to rugby." A viral sensation, a financial necessity - why Maher became rugby's biggest star Maher's impact 'phenomenal' as PWR semi looms The star player hoping to turn millions of TikTok followers into rugby fans Johnson has starred in the Fast and Furious franchise and Disney blockbuster Moana since leaving WWE, while Cena's acting career includes a cameo in 2023 hit Barbie. Maher would not be the first sports star to appear in WWE. Boxers Mike Tyson, Floyd Mayweather and Tyson Fury have all made cameos, while Olympic medallists Kurt Angle and Ronda Rousey have been key ongoing characters in the promotion. Maher, who has been named at outside centre for Friday evening's World Cup opener against England in Sunderland, says she remains a rugby player first, despite her phenomenal success on social media and clutch of new ventures. Having won a bronze medal with the US sevens team at Paris 2024, she joined Premiership Women's Rugby side Bristol Bears on a three-month contract in January to help her acclimatise to the 15-a-side game. Her debut against Gloucester-Hartpury set a new attendance crowd for the league of 9,240 after the fixture was switched to Ashton Gate to accommodate more spectators, while her team's social media footprint also grew significantly. "So many times people forget, but I am a rugby player first," Maher added. "I do the social media because I have to because it is not sustainable to be a women's rugby player - I am not going to make money doing it. "It does irk me at times when people forget that. One comment once was: 'Are you going to watch the Instagrammer play?' "I was like, 'no, I have won a bronze medal, I've been to two Olympics, I am a good rugby player who loves the sport'. "I am proud to do both but I do want to be known as a rugby player." The US are distinct underdogs against runaway world number ones and tournament favourites England on Friday. However, Maher believes the absence of expectation frees up her and her team-mates against the hosts. "I am going into it with the mindset not that we have something to lose, but something to gain from this. We have an opportunity here to have some fun. "The Red Roses not having lost a game for more than 1,000 days - that is having something to lose. I don't think we do. "They will be very tough opponents. For us to beat them, we would have to be on our A-game every single minute of that game. "But I am just excited to play in front of 40,000 people. Whether we win or lose I want to be able to say that I enjoyed it." The US take on Australia and Samoa in their remaining Pool A games. Two teams from each of the four pools advance to the quarter-finals. Women's Rugby World Cup fixtures and BBC coverage

Get to know: Jessica Pegula
The defending champions won 6-3, 5-7 (10-6) to seal their Grand Slam repeat in New York. Getty Images Defending champions Sara Errani/Andrea Vavassori won a dramatic 2025 U.S. Open mixed doubles final at Flushing Meadows. The Italian pair and only recognized mixed doubles team in the tournament, beat third seeds Iga Świątek/Casper Ruud 6-3, 5-7 (10-6) on Arthur Ashe to claim the top prize of $1 million. They defended their 2024 Grand Slam title in a shortened two-day format that included selected pairings dominated by top-ranked singles players. In the day's earlier semifinals, Świątek/Ruud beat top seeds Jessica Pegula/Jack Draper 3-5, 5-3, 7-6 (8) in a thriller, before Errani/Vavassori overpowered Danielle Collins/Christian Harrison 4-2, 4-2. Join the discussion: live@ GO FURTHER Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori retain U.S. Open mixed doubles by outclassing singles stars Jessica Pegula is a reigning U.S. Open finalist. Last year, playing in her first Grand Slam final, the American lost in straight sets to Aryna Sabalenka. Hard courts are where Pegula is at her best. The world No. 4 is a two-time Canadian Open champion. Her third WTA 1000 title, also on hard courts, was the Guadalajara Open in 2022. Pegula is searching for her second title of 2025 after winning in Charleston, her first clay court title, back in April. She has seven WTA Tour titles in her career. Coco Gauff has hit the panic button on the eve of the U.S. Open. Gauff, the world No. 3, has parted ways with grip expert Matt Daly, who she hired at the end of last year's U.S. Open to strengthen her serve and forehand, two of the most important shots in tennis. She has brought on Gavin MacMillan, a biomechanics specialist who helped rescue world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka's serve. MacMillan was on court with Gauff during practice Wednesday. A representative for Gauff confirmed the change, first reported by ESPN. MacMillan was not immediately available for comment. The U.S. Open singles main draws begin Sunday Aug. 24. GO FURTHER Coco Gauff splits with key coach on eve of U.S. Open, practices with serve expert Here's some Coco Gauff news for you ... Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori played like the reigning U.S. Open mixed doubles champs they are yesterday. They began by knocking out Taylor Fritz and Elena Rybakina in straight sets, 4-2, 4-2. Their quarterfinal match against Andrey Rublev and Karolina Muchová was trickier, but Errani/Vavassori found a way to avoid the third-set super tiebreak, winning 4-1, 5-4(4). The dream of back-to-back U.S. Open mixed doubles titles for Errani/Vavassori is still on. Andrea Vavassori is looking to go back-to-back alongside partner Sara Errani in the U.S. Open mixed doubles championship. The 30-year-old Italian has a career-high doubles ranking of No. 6, achieved in October 2024. Vavassori is a two-time mixed doubles champion. Along with Simone Bolelli, he reached the men's doubles finals twice at the Australian Open (2024, 2025) and once at the French Open (2024). In 2024, Vavassori was on the Italian team that won the country's maiden Davis Cup title in Spain. Last week, Sara Errani was in the coaching box of Jasmine Paolini, as the Italian advanced to the Cincinnati Open final. This week, the doubles specialist is into the semifinal of the U.S. Open mixed doubles championship. Errani, alongside partner Andrea Vavassori, is the reigning mixed doubles champion in New York. They defeated Taylor Townsend and Donald Young last year, as Errani became the first Italian woman since 1986 to win the mixed doubles event in Flushing Meadows. Errani, a former doubles world No. 1, has the career grand slam. She won the women's doubles at the U.S. Open in 2012, alongside compatriot Roberta Vinci. Errani has 35 doubles titles and two mixed doubles slams. Can she add a third this week at the U.S. Open? Getty Images Hello again everyone, and welcome again to The Athletic . It's great to have you with us for some more piping hot U.S. Open action from The Big Apple. Coming up, the incomparable Lukas Weese is set to dive into the semifinalists, who they are and how they got here and into the last four. Don't go anywhere! Last year's mixed doubles event at the U.S. Open was notable for the American pair of Taylor Townsend and Donald Young and their dream run to the final. It was Young's final tournament as a professional, after beginning his pro career in 2004. Unfortunately for Townsend and Young, they couldn't defeat the duo of Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori. The Italian pair won in straight sets 7-6(0), 7-5. It was the first time an Italian pair won the U.S. Open mixed doubles title while Errani, who has the career Grand Slam in women's doubles, became the first Italian woman to win mixed at Flushing Meadows since 1986. Errani and Vavassori are back again and playing well too, and are in today's semifinals where Danielle Collins and Christian Harrison await. They won't be comparable to the tournament we are currently watching play out in New York — no previous Grand Slam mixed doubles will be — but here is who came out on top in the mixed doubles this year in Melbourne, Paris and London ... Australian Open: Olivia Gadecki (AUS) / John Peers (AUS) — unseeded Olivia Gadecki (AUS) / John Peers (AUS) — French Open: Sara Errani (ITA) / Andrea Vavassori (ITA) — 3rd seeds Sara Errani (ITA) / Andrea Vavassori (ITA) — Wimbledon: Sem Verbeek (NED) / Kateřina Siniaková (CZE) — unseeded Errani and Vavassori, unseeded in this tournament, are two wins from repeating as U.S. Open mixed doubles champions. First up for them today in the semifinals is the American pair of Danielle Collins and Christian Harrison. As some of the brightest stars in one of the most popular individual sports on the globe take the stage in New York, we have an important and timely read for you from Charlie Eccleshare on why tennis has become a major part of the broader stalking issue in sports. As Charlie wrote: ✍️ 'Tennis has always inspired a level of devotion to its stars, and no other sport has as many female icons. Whether it's on the ATP (men's) or WTA side, many fans define themselves by being for one player and against their rival. 'The growth of social media and the expectation players should be accessible to their fans has only intensified this parasocial relationship. 'Players' match schedules and practice schedules are posted online and at events, making them easy to find in less guarded moments, with fewer people around than would be in a stadium for a match. 'And even at the biggest venues in the sport, courtside seating lets fans get very close to players, and they walk from place to place largely in public view.' I highly recommend reading Charlie's full piece below, and be sure to check out The Athletic 's series about stalking in sports as well. GO FURTHER The epicenter of stalking in sports? Why tennis stands apart While being the last duo standing and overcoming this overwhelmingly talented field is a prize in of itself, the victorious doubles team will also receive a $1 million prize. A little financial incentive never hurts ... The most famous of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center's three stadiums is Arthur Ashe Stadium, also named after an American tennis great. It's the biggest tennis stadium in the world, seating 23,771 at full capacity and has hosted numerous iconic moments through the years. What will the venerated stadium have in store for us in 2025? This may be the first year in a new format for mixed doubles at the U.S. Open, but the event itself has a long history in New York. Here are the past 10 U.S. Open mixed doubles winners — all under the traditional format for the tournament: 2024: Sara Errani / Andrea Vavassori / 2023: Anna Danilina / Harri Heliövaara / 2022: Storm Sanders / John Peers / 2021: Desirae Krawczyk / Joe Salisbury / 2020: Not held due to COVID-19 pandemic 2019: Bethanie Mattek-Sands / Jamie Murray / 2018: Bethanie Mattek-Sands / Jamie Murray / 2017: Martina Hingis / Jamie Murray / 2016: Laura Siegemund / Mate Pavić / 2015: Martina Hingis / Leander Paes The new mixed doubles format is an added dose of excitement for U.S. Open fan week. Beginning yesterday and going through Saturday, fans can enter the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center at Flushing Meadows for free. Yes, free! You don't have to pay a cent to enter the grounds. It's often considered the best deal for spectators in professional tennis. You get to see the mixed doubles, you get to witness a qualifying tournament, and best of all, you can watch the top players practicing up close before they begin the U.S. Open singles main draw. Add food, beverage and fun activities throughout the grounds, and it's a fun-filled outing in New York City! As you likely saw yesterday, ESPN is taking a different approach to cover this new-look mixed doubles tournament, including interviews with contestants in between sets during matches. Here is what our senior sports media writer Richard Deitsch wrote earlier this week about ESPN's new approach: ✍️ 'Here is the reality from the broadcaster perspective: This is a television show … with a $1 million prize for the winning team and all the makings of great television. 'Linda Schulz, an ESPN vice president of production, and Brett Jackson, a coordinating producer, are the production point people for the company's coverage of tennis. 'It is meeting this new format with changes of its own, including end-of-set interviews with the stars to take the temperature of each match. 'The interviews, conducted by 2017 U.S. Open women's singles champion Sloane Stephens and former men's world No. 11 Sam Querrey, will only take place during the mixed doubles event.' GO FURTHER ESPN embraces U.S. Open mixed doubles with interviews between sets and new technology What does it look like? Well ... all matches before the final will be best of three sets, with short sets to just four games with a lead of two. There will be no-ad scoring — so effectively it's the next point wins whenever a game reaches deuce — as well as a tiebreak if a set reaches 4-4. Then, if a third set is necessary, it will take place in the form of a 10-point match tiebreak. Today's final will be the best of three sets to six games, again featuring no-ad scoring, with tiebreaks at 6-6 and a 10-point match tiebreak in lieu of a third set.

So get involved! The iconic complex on the north end of Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in the New York City borough of Queens is the crown jewel of American tennis venues. USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center contains 22 hard courts, including three stadiums. Those courts are open to the public year-round — except when the U.S. Open is underway. The venue also sits near several other sports and cultural hubs in Queens, including Citi Field, home of Major League Baseball's New York Mets. The center is directly operated by the United States Tennis Association and has hosted the U.S. Open every year since opening in 1978. In 2006, the venue was renamed from the USTA National Tennis Center in order to honor U.S. tennis legend Billie Jean King, who's often among the luminaries on the grounds to watch the action at every U.S. Open.
