Muscatine rookies vie for spots on Hawkeyes
Iowa City awaits the start of football drills as Muscatine natives Dan Reed and Steve Welk push for playing time. Welk, a 6-6, 251-pound junior, seeks a return from a knee injury while Reed eyes punting and defensive back roles amid a deep Hawkeyes backfield. Coach Frank Lauterbur notes Welk’s weight gain and knee recovery, and Reed emphasizes versatility as he competes with Tyrone Dye for the defensive right tackle spot and other special teams duties. The team plans to rely on about 38 lettermen as the season nears.
