Iowa is returning 4 starters to the secondary this 12 months in Quinn Schulte, Xavier Nwankpa, Jermari Harris, and Sebastian Castro. The 4 of them have the Hawkeyes as probably the greatest defensive again models in America.
CBS Sports activities has slotted the Iowa Hawkeyes because the No. 3 defensive again room within the nation forward of the 2024 faculty soccer season.
Forward of Iowa is the Ohio State Buckeyes at No. 1 and the Notre Dame Combating Irish at No. 2. The remainder of the highest 5 after Iowa is the Georgia Bulldogs and rounds out with the Michigan Wolverines.
Iowa’s quarter of defensive backs is returning a ton of manufacturing. The group mixed for 216 tackles, 6 interceptions, 22 go breakups, 13.5 tackles for loss, and even contributed two sacks.
