Tuesday was a news-filled day for the Iowa Hawkeyes. While the news was good for several individual players, it was a rough day for the Hawkeyes’ hopes in 2020.
Things kicked off with the announcement that standout defensive end A.J. Epenesa was, as expected, departing for the NFL Draft. While expected, it’s a painful departure for Phil Parker’s defense heading into next season.
The real woes, however, were felt on the offensive side of the ball. The first shoe to drop was the departure of redshirt junior running back Toren Young.
