Xavier Nwankpa looks to take the next step for Iowa Hawkeyes football team

Xavier Nwankpa was a big-time recruit out of Southeast Polk High School two years ago, a five-star safety. He picked Iowa over Ohio State and Notre Dame but didn’t see major playing time for the Hawkeyes last season until recording a Pick-6 interception in the Music City Bowl. He seeks to make a huge impact this season.
