It’s a good thing Iowa football player AJ Epenesa is incredibly humble and appreciative of his unworldly talent because if he wasn’t, he would have quite a bit ego at this point.
This season has seen preseason awards and recognition roll in by the truckload. Epenesa has been named a preseason All-American and preseason All-Big Ten while also being named to the Bednarik Award watch list, which I firmly believe he has a chance of winning.
He’s also been called out as the star of the Iowa football defensive line that Bleacher Report Lead Draft Analyst Matt Miller says is the best in the nation and he’s quite often regarded as a top-5 or top-10 player in the 2020 NFL Draft.
