IOWA CITY, Iowa -- There is a mix of experience, semi-experience, and youth on the University of Iowa football team's defensive line during 2016 spring practice.
The experience comes from three returning starters: senior Jaleel Johnson, junior Nathan Bazata, and redshirt sophomore Parker Hesse. Johnson (45 tackles) and Bazata (42 tackles) combined for 87 tackles and 10.5 tackles for loss out of the defensive tackle positions; Hesse had 44 tackles and two sacks after taking over for an injured Drew Ott at defensive end.
