Iowa has a pair of returning stars at linebacker entering the 2022 college football season. While senior Jack Campbell has seen his fair share of accolades and deservingly so, his running mate flies a bit under the radar.
That’s a crazy thing to say about a player that registered triple-digit tackles in his own right during the 2021 season, but it’s the case for redshirt senior Seth Benson. The 6-foot, 229 pound linebacker out of Sioux Falls, S.D., can flat out play.
Benson tallied 105 total tackles last season, eight quarterback hurries, 5.5 tackles for loss, three pass breakups, two sacks and one interception during the 2021 campaign. His interception against Iowa State during Iowa’s 27-17 triumph helped the Hawkeyes run their winning streak over the Cyclones to six straight.
Naturally, he’s had his fair share of highlight-worthy moments. Take a look back at his Hawkeye career thus far through these stunning still photos.
