IOWA CITY — A veteran Iowa secondary looks to continue an impressive interception streak next season. The Hawkeyes have picked off 61 passes since 2017, the most in all of FBS. Senior corner Riley Moss had two interceptions last season, including a 54 yard return for a touchdown in a win over Michigan State. The Ankeny native credits the technique taught by defensive coordinator Phil Parker.

The entire secondary returns, including senior corner Matt Hankins, who passed up a chance to enter the NFL Draft.

Moss says there are several backups who have a lot of game experience.

Despite all the experience Moss says there is plenty of room for improvement.

Iowa opens next season at home on September 4th against Indiana.
