CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - Football teams are known for wins and losses, statistics and awards, but football teams are defined by the character and dedication of the student-athletes. The UNI football sophomore class has the statistics, but this fall, will also showcase their character as they help build a playground in Waterloo, Iowa.
Each year, head strength and conditioning coach Jed Smith, pushes the team to come up with "class projects." This year, the sophomore class decided to go a different route. Smith got them into contact with the Leisure, Youth and Human Services department at UNI, where an idea was born.
