IOWA CITY, Iowa - The 2023 Iowa Football team kicked off spring practice Wednesday. The 15-practice period was expected to wrap up with an open workout at Kinnick Stadium next month.

-Jay Higgins and Carson Sharar are at No. 1 middle and weak-side linebacker, respectively, with Jaden Harrell and Kyler Fisher as the backups. At the LEO/Cash spot, Sebastian Castro, Kelby Telander and Jaxon Rexroth are one through three. 

-Xavier Nwankpa is listed as the No. 1 strong safety with Castro as the backup. Koen Entringer is No. 2 at free safety behind returning starter Quinn Schulte. Cooper DeJean and Jermari Harris show up as the cornerback starters with TJ Hall and Deshaun Lee as the backups.
