Snyder suffered an ACL injury back in April. The university only said Snyder was out indefinitely but it was hard to imagine that he would return to the field this season. Somehow, that’ll happen this weekend.
Snyder had a breakout campaign as a freshman last season, totaling 85 tackles, recording three interceptions and forcing three fumbles.
Iowa will play Illinois on BTN at noon ET.
