The Iowa football program has become synonymous with elite defense, a reputation it has earned after eight straight seasons as a Top 20 scoring defense and three Top 5 finishes in this metric over the past four seasons. Iowa’s defense is producing similar expectations this year thanks to the return of several key players from the 2022 squad as well as valuable additions who are poised to make an immediate impact. The next Hawkeye to be featured on our countdown to the kickoff of the 2023 season is one such addition and may be one of the most important yet least-discussed signings made by the program during the last recruiting cycle.
