Gholston is a STUD... and only going to get better!

He passes the eye test as the dudes a rock..and he has some of the fastest few steps off the ball I have ever seen before.. he’s definitely outplaying Lattimore right now and probably has been all season.. we are young and are only going to get better this year and lights out next year

He and AJ might the tandem duo at DE next year that Hoch and Fant are on O this year.

Go Hawks!

What about A Nelson? Perhaps the most forgotten about stud on the team.

Not to mention the addition of Nixon, Shannon and Linderbaum in the middle. We should still be able to play a very solid 8 or 9 rotation, even with the loss of Hesse, M Nelson, and maybe,(hope not) A Nelson.

He's not competing with Lattimore. He rotates with A. Nelson and then moves inside with Hesse when we go 4 DE's on third and medium to long.

All of our DEs in the 2-deeps are darn fine players! Not a weak one in the bunch!

His athleticism at that position jumps during games. You can tell he’s twitchy.

I say we convince all underclassmen to stay for their senior years and win back to back Nattys

 

[Hawkfan_08]

He's had a great year for sure! He really stands out.

The depth of the Iowa defense is amazing..Guys
who are second string in the rotation demonstrate
no drop off from the starters. This is how you build
a great team with balance Good recruiting and
good coaching are giving us a stud defense.
