Nico Ragaini has become the leader of Iowa’s receivers on and off the field. Ragaini was third in receptions for Hawkeyes a year ago with 26 and had to step up his leadership role following the transfer of Charlie Jones after spring drills. The Big Ten return specialist of the year is now at Purdue.

Ragaini has no hard feels about Jones leaving.

Ragaini is trying to be a mentor for the younger receivers.
