Big news for the #Hawkeyes defense.
Higgins’ 155 tackles this season is second-best in the nation, also the fourth-most in a single season in program history. https://t.co/aGrUW7Cqz1

With Nick Jackson getting a waiver the Hawks will have the best LB core in the country next year. Hard to believe a top 5 defense in 2023 is going to be better. https://t.co/zflhkpMplx
