Brandon Scherff to be recipient of 2026 America Needs Farmers Wall of Honor
*Via the University of Iowa
The ANF Wall of Honor salutes past University of Iowa football players who exemplify the work ethic and character of the Iowa farmer. Former Hawkeye standout, NFL veteran, and Denison alum Brandon Scherff will be the 14th member inducted into the prestigious group.
Scherff capped off his Hawkeye as a two-time first-team All-Big Ten selection and winning the 2014 Outland Trophy. Following his collegiate career, Scherff was selected fifth overall by Washington in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft. He went on to earn NFL All-Pro honors in 2020 and was named a Pro Bowl selection five times (2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021).
Growing up in Denison, Iowa, Scherff’s connection to agriculture started early while spending time on his mother’s family farm in Holstein—rounding up cattle, planting sweet corn, and doing chores.
Scherff’s wife also comes from an agricultural background, and today they proudly share farm life with their children. From ringing the bell to call cattle in for feed to harvesting fresh sweet corn, farming is a way of life for the Scherff family.
Previous ANF Wall of Honor recipients include Casey Wiegmann (2012), Jared DeVries (2013), Bruce Nelson (2014), Robert Gallery (2015), Dallas Clark (2016), Chad Greenway (2017), Aaron Kampman (2018), Matt Kroul (2019), Marshal Yanda (2021), Tony Moeaki (2022), Bryan Bulaga (2023), Brandon Myers (2024) and Micah Hyde (2025).
During ANF game day, Iowa Farm Bureau will welcome fans to the ANF Legends Tent at Krause Family Plaza where they can interact with local farmers, win prizes and get autographs from former Hawkeye greats, including this year’s ANF Wall of Honoree, Brandon Scherff.
The America Needs Farmers (ANF) game on will take place on October 3 against Ohio State.
