We’re seeing the first real reaction to the recent... happenings around the Iowa football program right now, as projected starting middle linebacker Dillon Doyle announced his departure from the football team Tuesday evening.
Doyle, a redshirt sophomore, saw action in all of Iowa’s 13 games last year, recording 23 total tackles and forcing a fumble. With the graduation of Kristian Welch in the offseason, it was all but assured that in Doyle, Iowa had its starting middle linebacker for the next three years.
Alas, excrement collided with air conditioning in the Iowa football complex, and it’s likely that the Doyle’s were a package deal.
