Akrum never asked any questions to the coaching staff or could remember her name so they couldn’t get back in contact.But if the Iowa football program was attempting to limit it’s players’ exposure to talking about their experiences within the Iowa football program, this is a bad look for anyone, let alone a college football program that has been heavily accused of racial disparities within the last month.Akrum then goes on to discuss his weight issues during the program, issues that Kirk Ferentz was open about during Akrum’s time here. Mother of former Hawkeye RB Akrum Wadley, Sharonda Phelps, told HN that assistant coach Brian Ferentz twice asked her son if he was going to rob a gas station and a liquor store on another occasion. During his junior and senior seasons, Wadley became one of four running backs in school history to rush for over 1,00 yards in consecutive seasons. It hurts to read, it really does. Phelps brought that to Brian's father, Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz, in Jan. '18 — Rob Howe (@RobHoweHN) June 7, 2020 And it seems many people who purchased things received them months after with no communication or way to track their order, while some others never received them at all. I don’t think I need to explain how horrible and disgusting that is.But there are some points Akrum attempts to make that are very contradictory to his opinions from well, not long ago.In the last paragraph of his statement, Akrum says “I would not encourage any future athletes or parents to send your kid to go play for the Iowa Hawkeyes under that current coaching staff.”But, in December Akrum was retweeting tweets encouraging his brother to be a Hawkeye and raving about his love of Iowa and Kinnick Stadium.In fact, a fair percentage of Akrum Wadley’s twitter is Hawkeye related in some way or another. It was publicly known that the program wanted Wadley to put on weight.“that black teammates were targeted to the extreme regarding not making Iowa’s required weight.
A no-context quote that could have easily been said with a chuckle or a smile that would greatly change the narrative. Wadley played for Iowa from 2013 to 2017. When Iowa needed somebody to make a play, Akrum answered the call by taking a 2-yard check down, making the whole defense miss, and finding the endzone to send the game to overtime:The Michigan game in 2016 where he racked up 115 yards on the ground, adding 5 catches for 52 yards and a touchdown, leading Iowa to a 14-13 win over undefeated #3 Michigan:Akrum would go total 2800+ rushing yards and 28 touchdowns while adding 71 catches for 761 yards and 7 touchdowns.

I’m also not saying anybody should be fired that’s not my place, I’m just for change I have a younger brother I want to be fine.Wadley’s last tweet implies that he felt the same way as a lot of Hawkeye fans and former players, that although this is bad, we can come together and fix this not only for the greater good of the coaching staff or Iowa football program but the entire state and country.That brings us to Akrum Wadley’s statement yesterday. Until we get the context, tone, and emphasis on how KF said it, there isn’t any way for us to know what the intent of it was.“I asked coach Broderick to get me a therapist to speak to because no one in the football program would help us or listen to what we had to say. "I felt like playing for Iowa football was a living nightmare," Wadley wrote in a social media post June 29.
He has since been waived and made appearances in the AAF.Akrum Wadley post-graduation however, has been a bit of a roller coaster ride. Why interact with the football program at all?That doesn’t mean Akrum’s statement should be written off or is completely false, but it does need to be looked into. He was, and certainly to some still, is a fan favorite. Hearing Akrum describes the mistreatment, comments, and actions made by the Iowa coaching staff makes me sick. Phelps brought that to Brian's father, Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz, in Jan. '18 2:20. How could he not be?In the biggest of games and in the most crucial situations, Wadley’s number was called. If Kirk, Brian, or anyone involved in the Iowa football program didn’t want Wadley to be talking to a therapist and took action to ensure he didn’t; it is manipulative and disgusting.On the other hand, It could be nothing. It should never happen.“A reporter said to Kirk Ferentz “Coach it’s a good thing you are going to New York because your star player Akrum Wadley who’s from New Jersey can show you guys around.” Kirk Ferentz responded to him “That’s the worst thing about it!”I don’t think this is anything or can be considered malicious until the clip is found. I can’t remember her name. Kirk Ferentz said he was “surprised” to hear former star running back Akrum Wadley claim last month that he now regrets ever playing for the Hawkeyes. If the accusations are found to be true, the only possible result is cleaning out the coaching staff and starting fresh.Brian Ferentz, a wealthy, white man in a position of power commenting on whether a black player is going to rob a liquor store because of what he is wearing is well, asinine. Kirk Ferentz denies Akrum Wadley accusations STEVE BATTERSON Quad-City Times Jul 31, 2020 Jul 31 ... As recently as May 26, his mom and I were having good conversations. Akrum Wadley after going undrafted, being released from the Titans, he took to social media selling signed Hawkeye memorabilia.
