You might be seeing a former Hawkeye legend a little bit more after a recent announcement

There were few better in the return game and on defense than former Hawkeye Football legend Desmond King.

King electrified the Kinnick Stadium crowd on more than one occasion with his dynamic returns and his timely interceptions on defense.

His best interception came amidst his record-setting junior season, where he compiled eight interceptions for the Iowa defense.

During that 2015 season, King intercepted a wayward Maryland pass and took it 88 yards to the house.

King finished his Iowa career with 14 total interceptions, and he is the only player in the Big Ten in the last 20 years to compile over 12 career interceptions and over 1,500 combined return yards.
