Iowa's Special Teams are truly special, Billy Taylor is gone, and Ian Moore is MASSIVE

Published: April 18, 2022, 9 p.m.

Iowa's Special Teams have been consistently great since Levar Woods look the lead responsibilities in 2018. Since then Woods has shown that he has the knowledge and experience to lead the Hawkeyes to a victory if he needs to. But for some reason ESPN is discrediting Iowa's abilities to win the B1G West this upcoming season. Granted it is just an early season prediction list but Iowa has a lot to prove to all the haters out there saying they don't have a chance to win the B1G West. Billy Taylor has made a name for himself in the past as a more than solid a safe choice as a head coach at a few different colleges/universities. Now he's taking his coaching talents to North Carolina to become the head men's basketball coach at Elon University. Taylor has a history of turning sub-par teams around so hopefully he will find success in his new position. We here at the Locked On Network and the Locked On Hawkeyes podcast wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. Ian Moore is the latest big man to be offered a scholarship by Ferentz and the Iowa football team. The 6'6" 290lb, 2024 offensive lineman recruit out of Indiana shows some very promising talent and seems to be ahead of where his fellow recruits are in terms of game maturity and knowledge. Will Iowa seize the opportunity to pick up another giant for their offensive line in the future? It will probably be at least a little while before we know so for now we can only hope.
