Iowa football announces three players attending Big Ten Media Days

Sending the veterans.

The Iowa Hawkeyes successes are built upon veterans showing up on the field and their offseason presence is going to be felt in the same manner.

The Iowa Hawkeyes have announced their three members attending Big Ten Media Days later this month and it is a trio of seasoned Hawkeye veterans.

Heading to Indianapolis to represent the Hawkeyes is a trio of tight end Luke Lachey, linebacker Jay Higgins, and safety Quinn Schulte. The group exudes experience and will all play a considerable part in Iowa’s 2024 season.

Between the three players, they carry a whopping 12 years of collegiate experience with the Hawkeyes and are all entering their fifth year with the program.

The three have appeared in a combined 116 games with 56 starts to their names. They are anchors on the offensive and defensive side of the ball and have high expectations to be top performers this year.

Luke Lachey is returning from a lower leg injury that limited last season to just three games but is still viewed among Iowa’s top pass-catching targets for Cade McNamara in Tim Lester’s new offense.

Defensively, Schulte fortifies the back end as a safety manning the passing game with Higgins in front of him stopping anything in the run game coming off a 171-tackle season in 2023.

Iowa’s session at Big Ten Media Days is set for Wednesday, July 24th at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.
