Hawkeyes Special Teams Shake-Up

Iowa’s special teams are undergoing a major overhaul as veteran coordinator LeVar Woods leaves for Michigan State, handing the reins to first-time leader Chris Polizzi. With three key players—return specialist Kaden Wetjen, kicker Drew Stevens, and punter Rhys Dakin—all departing for the NFL or elsewhere, Polizzi must rebuild quickly. New faces like Eli Ozick and Caden Buhr will handle kicking, while Tanner Philpott and Boston Everitt take on punting duties. The return game is wide open, and with a new quarterback in town, consistency and field position control are more critical than ever. Can Polizzi rise to the challenge and keep Iowa’s special teams elite? Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
