We had three scholarship players on the DL enter the portal. Bowie, Crawford and Brackney.
Does anyone know how the 4 true freshmen are progressing:

I randomly just saw a short interview clip with Gennings Dunker from earlier in the season and he said the 3 scout team defensive guys who had impressed him were Cam Buffington, Kenneth Merrieweather and Drew Campbell.
Really liked what I saw from Merriweather when he got in as well as practice stuff. Very quick and good hands but needs to get a bit stronger and bigger to be an every down kind of guy.
Yeah, from what I have gathered, it sounds like Merriweather is ahead of schedule. He was seeing snaps this year as a RS FR.
I understand kelvin bell is hamstrung by the defensive philosophies of iowa but king and kroul have shown we can have disruptive smaller dline that can play. I find it very concerning that there were really only 7 people that played 4 spots this year on the dline. Schematically it's probably the easiest position to play.
If Kueter comes back over send him to DE and add some pounds. Tall, strong, just could use some more size for both sports
Campbell seemed to get around quite well at the same size. Kueter is up to 235, maybe an addition of 5-10 pounds, but no need to go more than that.
I'm happy to hear this. Joseph Anderson, if I recall, has good speed for a big guy ... and, on top of that, has decent length. With good technique, that can be used to get really good leverage.
He’s DL that ran a 14.4 110 hurdles, and jumped 23’5” in the long jump.
He’s a freak.
