IOWA CITY — University of Iowa senior offensive tackle Gennings Dunker has been named to the 2025 Allstate Wuerffel Trophy Watch List, the Wuerffel Foundation announced Thursday.

Dunker (6-foot-5, 315 pounds) started 11 games as a junior and was a dominant force on the right side of Iowa’s offensive line that was recognized as a semifinalist for the Joe Moore Award in 2024. He was a second-team all-Big Ten honoree, as well as an Academic All-District selection. Dunker, who is also a candidate for the 2025 Outland Trophy, helped pave the way for Iowa’s offense rushing for more than 200 yards in seven games last season.

Now in its 21st season, the Allstate Wuerfel Trophy is college football’s premier award for community service. The trophy is named after Danny Wuerffel, the 1996 Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback from the University of Florida who parlayed his success on the football field into a lifetime of service and humanitarianism.

Dunker has spent several hours volunteering at the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital, Safe Haven Animal Shelter, Legacy Pointe Senior Living Center and Iowa City Regina High School. He is a human physiology major.
