The Daily Iowan breaks the huge news.
Iowa fans, rejoice: Desmond King, the 2015 Thorpe Award winner and anchor of the Hawkeye secondary, will return for his senior season.
The news was first reported by Danny Payne of the Daily Iowan, citing a likely reliable source: King's own mom.
Iowa cornerback Desmond King is returning for his senior season. After weeks of speculation, King's mother, Yvette Powell, told The Daily Iowan Monday night the Thorpe Award winner will return for his senior season.
"He said he wants to go out in a good way and not in the way where he came from a loss," Powell said.
