IOWA CITY — Iowa linebacker Jack Campbell says he is healthy and ready for his senior season. The Cedar Falls native was an All-Big Ten choice after ranking second in the league with 143 tackles. Following a 14-game season, Campbell and the other starting linebackers were held out of contact drills in the spring.

Campbell says he used the extra time to self-scout and study film.

Campbell says there are plenty of areas in which he needs to improve.

The Hawkeyes open September 3rd against South Dakota State.

 

 

 

NEW YORK — Former Iowa State running back Breece Hall is hoping to have an immediate impact on the New York Jets this season. The two time Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year was taken in the second round of the NFL Draft by the Jets and says he can adapt if asked to catch more passes out of the backfield.

Training camp begins in less than two weeks and Hall feels he has displayed his underrated speed in workouts.

Hall says workouts have been a learning process heading into camp.

The Jets finished 4-13 last season, last in the AFC East.
