After a career year with the Iowa Hawkeyes, defensive lineman Noah Shannon is looking to build upon that success. The 6-foot, 289 pound defensive tackle registered 47 tackles, two tackles for loss and a pair of sacks in 2021 for Iowa.
It was easily his best season with the Hawkeyes. Shannon eclipsed his previous best single-season tackles total from the 2020 season by 36. Now, Iowa is counting on even more production from the fifth-year senior.
Listed atop the depth chart to begin the spring season as the Hawkeyes’ starting left defensive tackle, Shannon will have the opportunity to enjoy his finest season in the black and gold.
The Oswego High School product out of Montgomery, Ill., arrived in Iowa City as a three-star signee in the 2018 class. According to 247Sports, Shannon was the No. 68 defensive tackle and the No. 25 player out of Illinois.
He chose the Hawkeyes over offers from schools such as Arkansas, Cincinnati, Indiana, Iowa State, Kansas State, Michigan State, Minnesota, Missouri, Rutgers, Syracuse, Virginia and Washington State.
