Iowa football: Ihmir Smith-Marsette taking the next step for Hawks

Last year was a breakout year of sorts for the Iowa football team’s sophomore wide receiver and kick returner Ihmir Smith-Marsette. He had a phenomenal year returning the ball and was named the Big Ten’s Return Man of the Year.

But what we didn’t realize is that there was so much more potential for Smith-Marsette to be a dynamic playmaker for the Iowa football team if he just applied himself more to the game.

It sounds like in year three, that’s no longer a worry for the Iowa football coaches though, and it shows by how much responsibility they are laying on the true junior speedster.
