This time last year, Logan Jones was a reserve defensive lineman nursing an injury which kept him out of the first 10 games. Now he enters the season as about as lock-y at his position as any offensive lineman for the Iowa Hawkeyes.
While it would be silly to frame his transition as unique, considering Iowa’s former center, Tyler Linderbaum, made a similar transition and turned into a force in the middle of Iowa’s offensive line, it is absolutely worth noting how quickly he rose to the top of the depth chart. The Lewis Central (Council Bluffs, IA) product made hay in the weight room this offseason by breaking positional records as just a redshirt freshman.
