TYLER LINDERBAUM DOMINATES ON AND OFF THE FIELD
(Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an
outstanding student, athlete, and leader from my district.
Tyler Linderbaum of Solon, Iowa, not only creates a huge impact on
the football field as the starting center for the Iowa Hawkeyes, but he
also creates a huge impact in our community.
This season, Tyler used the new NCAA rules to hold a fundraiser for
our beloved University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital. After
setting up a website to sell merchandise, he presented the Children's
Hospital with a check for $30,000.
On the football field, Tyler was dominant. In addition to leading the
Hawks to 10 wins, Tyler was named the first team All-American, and was
also awarded the Rimington Award as college football's best center. For
his work, Pro Football Focus graded him with their highest grade ever
given to a college football center.
Thank you, Tyler, for being an outstanding citizen of our community.
I am looking forward to watching you continue to dominate in the NFL
and make our State and our world a better place. Go, Hawks.
