This is an ESPN+ subscription article but is relevant (kind of) to Friday nights game;

LB Jestin Jacobs, Iowa

Jacobs showed up to Iowa in 2019 as a lanky 6-foot-3, 190-pound linebacker. The four-star recruit played only 71 snaps in his first two years on campus but is now enjoying a breakout campaign after packing on 40 pounds since arriving in Iowa City. Jacobs owns an 82.4 PFF grade across 161 snaps in four games and is succeeding against both the run and pass. What's most impressive is that he has sustained his speed and explosiveness despite packing on so much weight.

I will also note that Taulia Tagovailoa was mentioned as well. Should be a great matchup!
