WEST DES MOINES, Iowa -- One of the biggest names on the University of Iowa defense is thinking small during spring practice.

The Hawkeyes made their annual April pilgrimage to chilly Valley Stadium on Friday and after nine spring practices, junior middle linebacker Josey Jewell is refining little details.

Jewell has enjoyed a meteoric rise for the Hawkeyes. He started the final four games at weakside linebacker as a redshirt freshman in 2014 and was named Iowa’s MVP of the TaxSlayer Bowl after compiling 14 tackles (seven solo).
