Welcome to the beginning our preview of the 2019 Iowa Hawkeyes football season. It’s legitimately insane to believe we are just 99 days away from the opener against Miami (OH) Redhawks aka the Manny Rugamba Revenge Game.
We lead our player previews with a backup defensive tackle who figures to factor prominently in Phil Parker’s plans with a rotation of eight guys across the line.
Noah Shannon – RS Freshman
Aurora, IL (Oswego)
6’0”, 294 lbs
2019 Projection: Backup defensive tackle
Shannon came to Iowa as a 3-star defensive tackle and the 11th best 2018 recruit in the state of Illinois, according to 247sports.
