IOWA FB LEADERSHIP GROUP NAMED April 22, 2009
(FROM IOWA SPORTS INFO) IOWA CITY, IA – Thirteen University of Iowa football players have been named to the team’s 2009 Hawkeye Leadership Group. Head Coach Kirk Ferentz announced the group following a vote by members of each individual class.
Three seniors, four juniors, four sophomores and two freshmen (redshirt) make up the Hawkeye Leadership Group. A member of the 2009 incoming freshman class will be added in the fall.
The purpose of the group is to help formulate policies and enter into team decision-making matters regarding the upcoming season.
“As always, the players have done a fine job in their selections for the Leadership Group,” said Ferentz. “The coaching staff looks forward to working with the 2009 group as we shape policies and decisions regarding the upcoming season. This group is very important to all of us involved with Iowa football.”
The 2009 Hawkeye Leadership Group includes:
Pat Angerer LB Senior Bettendorf, IA
Broderick Binns DE Sophomore St. Paul, MN
Bryan Bulaga OL Junior Crystal Lake, IL
Greg Castillo DB Freshman Mt. Laurel, NJ
Adrian Clayborn DE Junior St. Louis, MO
A.J. Edds LB Senior Greenwood, IN
Brett Greenwood DB Junior Bettendorf, IA
Marvin McNutt WR Sophomore St. Louis, MO
Tony Moeaki TE Senior Wheaton, IL
Tyler Nielsen LB Sophomore Humboldt, IA
Tyler Sash DB Sophomore Oskaloosa, IA
Ricky Stanzi QB Junior Mentor, OH
James Vandenberg QB Freshman Keokuk, IA
Again, no love for Iowa’s Heisman Trophy candidate, Ryan Donahue.

Marc, is it typical that there would be fewer seniors on the leadership group than juniors and sophomores? Should we be reading something into this? Does the staff not think there is good leadership in the senior class? It seems to me that in the past, the senior class has had the largest representation on this leadership group.

It’s a good sign to see Vandy on there…..It’s a lot easier to take over the huddle if you have the respect of your peers.
Cool to see Castillo and Binns on there too and Tyler Nielsen….

I think the small number of seniors simply reflects the small senior class.
I’ve heard something about the Clayborn incident that could be a giant mitigating factor.
It’s something that twisted things around for me quite a bit. It’ll come out during the trial.
