## Resource

Iowa’s defense is getting a major upgrade through the transfer portal, as defensive coach Phil Parker brings in two elite safeties—Anthony Hawkins and Tyler Brown—to fill the void left by departing stars. Hawkins, a rangy 6’3” playmaker from Villanova, brings 57 tackles and 2 interceptions last season, perfect for deep coverage. Brown, a physical 5’10” tackler from James Madison, offers run-stopping power with 80 tackles last year. Together, they’re poised to reignite Iowa’s defensive dominance and continue Parker’s legacy of turning overlooked talent into shutdown stars.
