After waiting for his turn Iowa linebacker Jaden Harrell hopes to take advantage of his opportunity this season. The fifth year senior from Urbandale is the projected starter at middle linebacker and will follow in the footsteps of Jack Campbell and Jay Higgins.

Harrell is one of three new starting linebackers for the upcoming season.

Harrell says he learned a great deal from playing behind to time All Big Ten linebacker Jay Higgins.

Harrell is one of several new starters on the defense.

While the linebackers are new Parker likes the potential.

The Hawkeyes open August 30th at home against the University of Albany.
