IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Iowa assistant coach Brian Ferentz has been named the program’s running game coordinator. Ferentz, the son of head coach Kirk Ferentz and a former three-year starter for the Hawkeyes, has served as Iowa’s offensive line coach for the past three seasons. He’ll continue to coach the linemen while also directing the Hawkeyes’ rushing attack.

Iowa also says LeVar Woods will shift from coaching linebackers to working with the team’s tight ends. Recruiting coordinator Seth Wallace, who worked with defensive linemen last season, will be a defensive backs coach.
