Iowa sophomore Cooper DeJean is not sure what position will eventually be his home on defense. The former OABCIG star has spent time in preseason working at corner, safety as well as the cash position, a hybrid linebacker/safety position for the Hawkeyes.

DeJean has been working on special teams as a return specialist and also as a holder on field goals and PATs.

DeJean says the limited experience he got last year was a plus.

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says DeJean will make an impact wherever he plays.

The Hawkeyes open September third at home against South Dakota State.
