The original starting trio of linebackers to begin the season for the Iowa football program was Kristian Welch, Nick Niemann, and Amani Jones. Jones was replaced halfway through game one and the Hawks finished off a great second half against NIU. Since that time Djimon Colbert and Jack Hockaday have started games, and we are likely to see a few more added to the mix over the coming weeks.
The one constant with the Iowa football program’s linebackers is that nothing has been constant. The Hawks have rolled out three different starting groups in four games.
