Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz isn’t tempering expectations for junior Sean Welsh.
Last week, before the Hawkeyes opened spring practice, Ferentz praised Welsh for grading out last season as well as any player in the program.
Iowa’s most versatile offensive lineman, Welsh started 12 games at left guard and two at right tackle. As a redshirt freshman one year earlier, he started seven times at left guard and twice at right guard.
This spring, the depth chart lists Welsh atop the heap at right guard and center while sophomore James Daniels sits with an injury.
