The Iowa Football suffered a massive blow after long-time special teams coordinator LeVar Woods bolted for Michigan State, and took starting punter Rhys Dakin with him.

The program took its first step in the right direction after internally promoting Chris Polizzi from defensive analyst to special teams coordinator, and now the program has found its new starting punter.

The Hawkeyes were scrambling after losing their star coordinator and starting punter, but the program now has answers to both questions way before the beginning of next season.
