Thought Jay Higgins would also be 1ST team All American defense, how many tackles did he have and did he lead the nation in total tackles?

Kid from ODU has 167 Higgins has 155

155 for JHig, leads Power 5 in tackles, 3rd in FBS. He was 1st team in one pub whereas CDJ and TT were consensus AA's (all 5 pubs).

Higgins had to go from being a complete unknown to a first teamer, that is a lot to overcome

Yup, better come back next year to win all the awards.

Higgins and his family are friggn incredible. Awesome Hawkeye and Hawkeye family. Fantastic story and wish him all success going forward. Like Tony said, from unknown to All-American is an incredible accomplishment.

Hope he comes back just so I can read his old man's tweets. Gold, Jerry, gold...

Very happy for the kid. He was the 3rd LB for us last year against Wisconsin and I thought he played well and might be good for us this year. No way I thought he'd be this productive. Happy he's a HAWK HAWK HAWK

Tory & Cooper named AFCA, Sporting News, FWAA(Jay 1st Team), AP & Walter Camp 1st Team All Americans (5 of 5 Outlets that Determine Consensus Status)

Compare Jay's 2023 with Jack's 2022. Very similar. Jay not being at least a consensus AA is a joke.

Jack had a fantastic 2021 campaign also though.

Talented, productive and a leader. Love watching him play.

 

[TheRealHerky]

By all accounts a great young man, a leader on the field, and one heckuva a footballer.

But what character and loyalty he showed- with that talent having to wait behind Campbell! He will be rewarded by some pro team

 

[squeezebox]

I hope he announces his intentions soon-ish. I know Eickholt has stated he wants to make his decision before the bowl game, but he might wait.
