Congratulations to Gennings Dunker, a resident of Lena and the 45th District, on being drafted to the Pittsburgh Steelers as the 96th pick in the NFL Draft.
Gennings has already made his mark as a standout athlete and a leader our communities can rally behind. He helped lead Lena-Winslow to a state championship, showing early on the kind of toughness and discipline that would carry him to the next level.
At the University of Iowa, he became a cornerstone of the Hawkeyes’ offensive line, starting 38 games over three seasons and earning All-Big Ten honors from both coaches and media. He was also part of the Joe Moore Award-winning unit, recognized as the best offensive line in college football.
Gennings is a great example of the kind of work ethic and character we see every day in the 45th District. We are excited to watch him take the next step and represent Lena on the national stage.
Again, Congratulations, Gennings and best of luck at the next level!
