Packers selected Iowa S Micah Hyde with the No. 159 overall pick.

Hyde (5-foot-11 3/4, 197) logged 38 starts for the Hawkeyes, seeing action at both corner and safety and recording eight career interceptions. He played right cornerback in 2012. Hyde ran 4.56 at the Combine with a 33-inch vertical and 10-foot-1 broad jump. He was arrested twice as a senior, once for public intox and again for disorderly conduct. If he gets his head on straight, Hyde will offer position flexibility and core special teams value in Green Bay.

Iowa senior C James Ferentz measured in at 6-foot-0 7/8 inches and 289 pounds during weigh ins for the East-West Shrine Game.

This is a very good weight for Ferentz, if he can keep it on. The future zone blocking guard has struggled with snaps during the week of practice, which is surprising considering he spent his entire college career working with a quarterback from center. The biggest question scouts will have to answer regarding Ferentz is if the Hawkeye can handle one or zero technique nose tackles off the snap.

Iowa senior WR Keenan Davis will attend the East-West Shrine Game.

Davis, like Marvin McNutt, is a thickly built receiver that struggles most when asked to make tight breaks. The tall target is a long strider downfield but will need to use his frame in tight coverage to create separation.

Iowa freshman RB Greg Garmon will transfer to another program.

Garmon stated that it simply "wasn't clicking" for him at Iowa. The Hawkeyes struggled mightily at the running back position with injuries and off field issues in 2012, but Garmon finished third on the team in rushing yards. He also had one marijuana charge in June.

Iowa senior DB Micah Hyde was charged with disorderly conduct over the weekend.

This is Hyde's second run-in with police this season. The first, a public intoxication charge, occurred in October and Hyde plans to fight both. He is scheduled for two trials in January.

Iowa senior C James Ferentz will attend the East-West Shrine Game.

Ferentz is one of our favorite third day offensive linemen, specifically for a team that frequently uses zone blocking. He is leaner than most, but Ferentz is tenacious and always accomplishes his responsibility due to active hands and body placement. The coaches son may struggle in individual drills but in team outings he could shine.

Iowa junior TE C.J. Fiedorowicz caught six passes for 56 yards in the seaosn finale against Nebraska.

After being underutilized during the first six weeks of the season, Fiedorowicz was much more active for the final stretch of games. Despite his lack of production, we feel like the junior has the skills to warrant a second day selection, but it is unclear whether he will declare for April's Draft.

Iowa junior TE C.J. Fiedorowicz caught eight passes for 99 yards Saturday against Michigan.

Fiedorowicz is one of the most talented, underutilized prospects in the country. The Hawkeyes finally got him involved in the offense, but it may have been too late. Despite the lack of production, we would like tot see him make the jump to the NFL.

Iowa sophomore RB Mark Weisman has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Purdue.

Weisman is dealing with multiple injuries, including to the ankle and hip. It feels like ages ago when Weisman took the Big Ten by storm, but his seaosn has since been derailed.

Iowa beat writer Pat Harty believes that Iowa senior C James Ferentz is the program's MVP for the 2012 season.

Harty goes on to list many of the things we love about Ferentz: a nasty blocking style, his ability to take on defensive linemen much larger, and consistently completing his responsibility with solid technique. The coach's son will be a solid third day pick for a team that heavily uses zone blocking, but many will worry about his size.

Iowa sophomore RB Mark Weisman is unlikely to play in Saturday's game against Purdue with multiple injuries.

Weisman is dealing with an ankle and hip injury. The breakthrough sophomore was on a tear for four straight games but has been limited in the last three contest. Expect Damon Bullock to start.
Tue, Nov 6, 2012 02:31:00 PM

Iowa sophomore RB Damon Bullock is expected to start Saturday's game against Indiana.

Usual starter Mark Weisman will likely miss the contest, and Bullock is just returning from a concussion. After missing four games, Bullock played quite well in last week's game against Northwestern, but he'll be depended on even more going forward.

Iowa sophomore RB Mark Weisman will likely miss Saturday's game against Iowa with an ankle injury.

Weisman was forced out of the last two games with the same injury. The sophomore revitalized the Hawkeyes offense, but has been severely slowed again witht his ankle injury. Sophomore Damon Bullock is set to return, however.

Iowa sophomore RB Mark Weisman left Saturday's game against Northwestern with an apparent hip injury.

Weisman has missed time in recent weeks due to an ankle injury, but this appears unrelated. Damon Bullock started the game and will continue to take the majority of the carries.

Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz reiterated that he will continue to stick with senior James Vandenberg at QB.

"We all believe in James," Ferentz said. "I think I speak for everybody involved in our program, team and coaches." Vandenberg has not looked good this season, but the same could be said for the entire Hawkeyes offense. The senior is completing 56 percent of his passes, averaging 5.7 yards per attempt, to go along with three touchdowns and five interceptions. Vandenberg's lack of benching may say more about the back up quarterback talent Iowa has, or lack there of.
