Iowa junior defensive tackle Logan Lee says it was worth the wait to get on the field. After redshirting in 2019, the native of Illinois saw action in only two games in 2020 before bursting on the scene a year ago. Lee started all 14 games and finished with 48 tackles, including three sacks.
Lee says he is working on improving his pass rush this upcoming season.
Lee is part of a defensive line that he says will have even more depth with several new faces.
Iowa opens September third against South Dakota State.
Northern Iowa center Austin Phyfe hopes to finish his basketball career on a healthy note. The former Waverly-Shell Rock standout struggled with long term COVID last season and was limited to about 12 minutes per game. He averaged just under five and half points per game.
That’s UNI coach Ben Jacobson who says Phyfe returned, in part, because he would like to play beyond college.
A healthy Phyfe would be a boost for a UNI squad that lost several key players from a team that won the Missouri Valley regular season title.
