Another great piece to the DL is returning for another year, yessir!
Noah Shannon returning..
- Thread starter BigOHawk
- Start date
Eff ya! Long as we can figure out linebacker & CB (starters/depth), our defense will stay elite.
That’s huge. I would say get an LB and a CB via the portal and Iowa is set on defense.
If you expand the recruiting class definition to include portal pickups and unexpected retained players (which I think you should), then Iowa is doing very well this year
I'd rather save the money/scholarships for the offense!
I look for Noah to have a breakout year next year and become a dominant force for the Iowa defense.
Shannon was blowing up as the season progressed. I think he will be a dominant lineman next year
DL room looking pretty deep and salty.
Not surprised. Had heard he was leaning toward leaving.
This. We have future all B1G LB's waiting in the wings. The need is on the OL.....
Jackson Filer (The Wolf) is on board as PWO, sounds like Swarm and NIL saved a ride for OT, LB, etc.
Our DL is going to be nasty. Depth for days. Really glad Shannon is back!
A dominant defensive line makes linebackers look good.
Fantastic! I'm super happy to have Noah back for another year. The 2023 defense is going to destroy opposing offenses.
Awesome, just some amazing talent and proven skill on the DLine. If the Lbkr corp remains a little thin then perhaps PParker goes with a 4-2-5 CASH defense most of the time with a 220 lb safety pretty much being a linebacker
i would prefer to stay diversified and give phil some spending money as well. for one i know for sure that phil knows how to use talent (whereas it’s unclear whether that’s the case on the offensive side). secondly, is talent the only issue on offense? on paper we have several rated linemen who havent done squat.
I pray we have an offense with a pulse that can give them an occasional break. Can't imagine how good they would be if we had a top 40 offense.
Noah Shannon only continues to improve. In each of the last 2 seasons, he's been quite productive ... netting 40+ tackles in each.
On top of that, he's demonstrated his improvement by going from getting 2 TFLs in '21 (through 14 games) to 8.5 TFLs in '22 (through 13 games).
Getting Noah back is truly an excellent development. He's a guy who you can count on to be continuing to hone his craft.

Yeah right. Trade a defensive starter for an unknown. Obviously Kirk felt differently
Can't believe it's taken this long for the investigation. I bet they won't finish it until the week before the first game just to **** us over.
We were previously told it didn't involve any starters. Makes me wonder who else is involved now.
I keep seeing 1 DB and 1 DL. That was rumor, but now that is been proven half true.
And Arland who departed already.
Could always go Logan Jones back to DL and RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRusty in at Center. But I bet Phil rolls with Graves more.
NS experience would be a loss, but with Graves and Thompson waiting in the wings and chomping at the bit, this would not be an issue really, and we've yet to see anything more then "its being investigated".
I do not have sympathy for these players. They know they can't gamble. Doesn't matter whether we think it is right or wrong or whether it's legal or not. The NCAA says no. These players are stupid to do it.
