OKLAHOMA CITY -- Kirk Ferentz talks of it often to the University of Iowa football team: postseason awards are team awards.

Hawkeye junior defensive back Desmond King received the Jim Thorpe Award on Tuesday at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. He won the bronze trophy, cowboy hat, cowboy boots, and (eventually) a Rolex watch because he compiled 72 tackles, 13 pass breakups, and eight interceptions during the 2015 season.
