Iowa Hawkeyes Top 10 Returning Players in 2023 Include Cooper DeJean, Quinn Schulte
The Iowa Hawkeyes should return to form defensively, but with key players in the most important positions, expectations are that the offense will come around in 2023.
The Iowa Hawkeyes were a defensive force in the Big Ten in 2022, holding opponents to just 13.3 points per game, the second-best mark in the nation. On the other side of the ball, though, they struggled, putting up a bottom-10 performance in points per game.
Expectations are mostly the same for 2023, though the hope is that some new additions could be important for progression on both sides of the ball. Heading into their 25th season under head coach Kirk Ferentz, the No. 24 Hawkeyes have their eyes set on the Big Ten title.
