The Iowa Hawkeyes had one of the best defenses in the Big Ten in 2020 and a big piece of that was a stout interior defensive line. Daviyon Nixon emerged as a superstar this season and contributions from the likes of Jack Heflin, Noah Shannon and others were a big reason for the success.
Could the Hawkeyes have their next big man in the middle in the class of 2021? That’s the hope with Bettendorf’s Griffin Liddle. A 3-star defensive tackle, Liddle was a terror in the middle of the defense for the Bulldogs.
Today, he’s officially a Hawkeye.
