‘It happens naturally’: CB Riley Moss, Iowa Hawkeyes ready to replace defensive departures

All-American cornerback Riley Moss said “it happens naturally” that players move on as the Iowa Hawkeyes look to reload in the secondary.

There will be plenty of talk over the remainder of this month about how Iowa is replacing some talented members in its secondary. Hawkeyes head football coach Kirk Ferentz mentioned as much after another successful Kids’ Day at Kinnick.

It makes sense, too. Iowa is in the business of replacing 95 combined career starts between Dane Belton, Matt Hankins, and Jack Koerner. Riley Moss, the defending Tatum-Woodson Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year, shared his thoughts on how the Hawkeyes can navigate that hurdle and more at Iowa Media Day.
