Iowa corner Riley Moss is trying to be more of a leader on and off the field. The Ankeny native returned for a fifth season after earning some All American honors last season. He was named a preseason All American by the Associated Press this week.

Moss says he returned because there are still areas he needs to improve in before trying to latch on in the NFL.

The defense is again expected to carry the Hawkeyes but Moss says expectations from the outside are never higher than they have internally.

Iowa opens the season September third at home against South Dakota State.
