Q: How was your trip Saturday to Iowa?
LINGENFELTER: It was a great visit. I was very impressed. They had a lot of things going on down there. We got a tour and saw everything. It was great overall.
Q: What did they have you do while on campus?
LINGENFELTER: We got a presentation from their strength and conditioning coach in the weight room. He ran through everything going on there. He talked about developing players. We went into their meeting rooms and met with academic advisors. They talked about academics during that. We went on the sidelines and got to hang out a little bit before the game.
Q: What was your favorite part of the trip?
LINGENFELTER: The presentation from the strength coach was pretty impressive. I definitely like how they had a bunch of big named coaches and advisors talking to us. They took the time from a day like that to do that.
Q: What type of attention has Iowa shown you?
LINGENFELTER: So far it has just been a game invite down there and some letters.
Q: What coaches did you get a chance to talk to while there?
