He’ll look to become just the third Hawkeye to win the award. The only Iowa football players to win it were Nile Kinnick in 1939 and Chuck Long in 1985. Ricky Stanzi was named a semifinalist for the award in 2010.

It’s his third preseason honor so far. He was named a preseason first-team All-Big Ten selection and preseason fourth-team All-American by Athlon Sports.

Semifinalists are named on November 1st, finalists on November 22nd and the winner on December 9th.

The Hawkeyes open up their 2021 season on September 4th against Indiana.
