LOSE A SMITH, ADD A SMITH. Three of Iowa's five leading receivers are gone from last year's 12-2 team (including tight end Henry Krieger-Coble). Despite the loss of Tevaun Smith and Jacob Hillyer from that top five, the team's leader in receptions and yards, Matt VandeBerg, oes return for a senior season. He was overlooked a bit as part of a six-man wide receiver recruiting class that included Damond Powell, Derrick Willies, Derrick Mitchell, AJ Jones and Andre Harris. The Meerkat filled the void of departed slot man Kevonte Martin-Manely and exceeded KMM's previous production with 65 receptions for 703 yards and 4 touchdowns.
