Welcome back to our countdown of the Iowa Hawkeyes football season. Our next is Chris Reames. First, we’ll take a look at a past 98, Anthony Nelson.
Nelson was a three-year starter for the Hawkeyes and accumulated 23 sacks, good for 7th on Iowa’s all-time list. After his junior season, he declared for the draft and was taken by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2019’s 4th round. He resigned with them after a breakout fourth season where he started eight games and accumulated 46 tackles. He added 5.5 sacks and three forced fumbles.
