Yesterday, I wrote about Geno Stone being the prototypical Iowa diamond in the rough. An under recruited player with a chip on his shoulder that comes into this program and becomes a lightning rod for the defense. And every single word I wrote yesterday can be copy and pasted directly in this piece and it would all remain true about Matt Hankins.
The Texas native (who just so happens to be Stone’s roommate) has the same will to prove every single doubter wrong. He’s also out to stop the ribbing from his teammates this season who are reportedly giving him the business for being the only member of what I’m officially deeming the “Birds of Prey” without an interception.
