(Radio Iowa) – Iowa kicker Keith Duncan says it is time to move on. The All-American will be one of 22 seniors honored prior to Saturday’s game against Wisconsin. Because of NCAA rules regarding the pandemic, Duncan could return for a sixth year.

Duncan hopes to land a job in the NFL. A finals for the Lou Groza Award last year, Duncan is 12 of 16 in field goal attempts this season.

Senior linebacker Nick Niemann (nee-mun) does not plan on taking advantage of the extra year.

Niemann watched his older brother, Ben, played for the Hawkeyes and now his father, Jay, is a member of the coaching staff.
