The other players that got voted as team captains were CB Riley Moss, S Kaevon Merriweather, and P Tory Taylor. WR Diante Vines is the Comeback Player of the Year after returning from a wrist injury that sidelined him for the majority of 2022. Vines played in the final six games of the regular season.
Iowa fans can make a solid case for either of those players to be voted as team captains. The Hawkeyes will face Kentucky in the Music City Bowl on Dec. 31 at noon ET on ABC.
