Iowa's Jack Campbell Wins Top College LB Award

[rucker4]

I suppose as a Hawkeye I could say I'm biased, but in this case I don't think I am. SImply not a better LB in college football this past year. Great player but even greater leader. He's the heart and soul of Iowa's team.

Below I will link a video of him speaking after his final regular season game a couple weeks ago. Talk about heart and passion of a very humble kid from Cedar Falls, Iowa. In a time when there's lots in the college game not to like, this is a feel good watch. Last year our highest character player was Tyler Linderbaum and this year it's Campbell.

Will he play in the bowl game?

I know he gave us all kind of trouble in the bowl game.

Thanks for the link. His attitude, while not as prevalent as it used to be, is why I love college football. Stoops and Ferentz, you can tell were cut from the same cloth, in how they build a culture with their team.

Completely cut from the same piece of cloth.

Only Iowa LB I ever saw play better than him was maybe Chad Greenway

 

[Wildcats1st]

Is he in the portal so stoops can talk to him after the game. We need a guy like this

This is the guy that WanDale posterized right?

Pretty sure the play you are alluding to was on a DB. #23 maybe?

It was their star LB #33 I'm pretty sure.

 

[SaltyCat22]

Riley Moss. White boy corner/DB. You’re both right though he is #33!

Larry Station in '85 was pretty good too ;-). But yes, Jack is one of the best ever for Iowa at LB.
