Kaden Wetjen did it again.

The Iowa football specials teams star continues to be a difference-maker for the Hawkeyes , taking the opening kickoff against Rutgers 100 yards for a touchdown. It marked the second kickoff-return score of Wetjen's career.

Quite a way to open Big Ten Conference play, especially on the road.

The return continues Wetjen's hot streak, which began in Week 3 against UMass when he made program history with a punt-return TD and rushing touchdown.

Wetjen is proving to be a weapon for a Hawkeyes team that hasn't enjoyed consistent offense through three weeks in 2025.

Rutgers quickly responded with an impressive 75-yard touchdown drive on its first possession.
