The hospital in Iowa City holds a special place in the Hawkeyes' program. It sits adjacent to Kinnick Stadium, and in 2017, Iowa started a tradition in which players and fans wave to kids watching from the hospital.

Linderbaum is expected to be a first-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft. The junior was named a unanimous All-American in 2021, and he earned All-Big Ten honors in each of the last two seasons.
