Cronk spent four years at Indiana (2016-19), starting all 40 games he played in at left tackle before joining Iowa as a graduate transfer in 2020, where he started the first two games of the season at right tackle. Injuries forced him to miss all but six games over the last two seasons. In 2018, he was part of a Hoosier offense that ranked No. 2 in the Big Ten and tied for No. 24 nationally in first downs per game (23.5) and No. 3 in the conference (No. 36 nationally) in passing offense (257.8 ypg.).

Dietzen, a Black Creek, Wis., native, played in 42 games with 39 starts at Wisconsin. In 2016-17, he played in 23 games with 20 starts at left guard and then in 2018 started all 12 games at left tackle. After retiring following the 2018 season due to injuries, Dietzen returned in 2020 and started all seven games (four at left guard, two at left tackle, one at right guard). Last season he played 437 snaps, the third most of any UW player.

Gaither played in 44 games with 27 starts at San Jose State and was a two-time All-Mountain West honoree (first team in 2020 and honorable mention in 2019).

Gaither set a school record for consecutive games with a TD reception in 2019 with six.

In 2019 at NIU, Heflin was named honorable mention All-America by Pro Football Focus, earned first-team all-conference honors from PFF, was named second-team All-Mid American Conference by the league's coaches and was selected as NIU's Defensive Player of the Year by the coaching staff.
