Sure, it's not the Rose Bowl, but new acting Attorney General Matthew G. Whitaker probably doesn't mind getting moved up the political depth chart.
Whitaker is the new role after Jeff Sessions resigned at President Donald Trump's beckoning on Wednesday.
Whitaker previously served as Sessions's Chief of Staff. But long before Whitaker was making his presence felt in the political realm, he played college football at Iowa from 1990 to 1992.
He made 21 catches for 203 yards and two touchdowns in 33 career games. He also started for the Hawkeyes in the 1991 Rose Bowl.
