Caleb Shudak and Charlie Jones were two of the Iowa Hawkeyes most important players last season. Shudak went 24/28, including perfect performances in tight games against Nebraska, Minnesota, and Penn State. Jones returned a kick for a touchdown to spring some momentum against Illinois and was a general pest as a punt returner.

So, there’s a lot to replace.

The main event

Tory Taylor has been an absolute weapon for the Hawkeyes in his two years as Iowa’s punter. His total yardage was only surpassed by Matt Araiza. Part of that is he had 80 punts.
