IOWA CITY, Iowa — University of Iowa senior safety Quinn Schulte has been named a candidate for the 2024 Lott IMPACT Trophy. The announcement was made Friday by The Pacific Club IMPACT Foundation.

The Lott IMPACT Trophy, entering its 21st year, is awarded to the student-athlete who best exemplifies the characteristics of Ronnie Lott by making an IMPACT on and off the field. IMPACT is an acronym for Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community and Tenacity.

Schulte (6-foot-1, 209 pounds) is returning for his sixth season in the black and gold this fall. The former walk-on started all 27 games for the Hawkeyes the last two seasons, amassing 136 total tackles, 12 passes defended and two interceptions.

The Hawkeye graduate earned honorable mention All-Big Ten recognition for his play on the field in 2023. Schulte, who is currently on a pre-dental track, was an Academic All-American and was a National Football Foundation Hampshire Honor Society honoree last season. The native of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has been named to the all-conference academic team each of the last four years.

Off the field, Schulte has participated in several volunteer activities, including Safe Haven Animal Shelter, Community Crisis Services and Food Bank, Hazel Point School, Hawk the Vote, Center for Advancement and Student Athlete Academic Services.

Former Hawkeye linebacker Josey Jewell won the Lott IMPACT Trophy in 2017, while defensive back and return specialist Cooper DeJean was a semifinalist for the award in 2023.

The Lott IMPACT Trophy winner will be announced at a gal, black-tie event at The Pacific Club on Dec. 8, in Newport Beach, California.

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State junior defensive back Jeremiah Cooper has been named one of 42 candidates for the Lott IMPACT Trophy. The candidates for the trophy, in its 21^stseason, were named to the list Thursday at a luncheon in Newport Beach, California.

The watch list is comprised of 18 defensive backs, 13 defensive linemen and 11 linebackers. Cooper is one of seven Big 12 players on the list.

Named after former NFL Hall of Fame star Ronnie Lott, The Lott Trophy annually goes to the Defensive IMPACT Player of the Year, a player who has had the biggest impact on his team both on and off the field. IMPACT stands for Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community and Tenacity, all characteristics exhibited by Lott during his illustrious playing career.

Cooper, an El Paso, Texas, native and product of Andress High School, finished second among Big 12 players and sixth nationally with five interceptions, despite missing a pair of games due to injury. He was fourth nationally in passes defended per game (1.4), finishing the season with 15 total passes defended, including 10 pass breakups.

Cooper earned First Team All-Big 12 honors from the coaches and Associated Press in 2023 and was Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week after having two interceptions, including one that was returned 58 yards for a touchdown, against UNI.

He also tallied 45 tackles last season.

The annual winner is selected by a national voter panel, consisting of former winners, members of the media, coaches and members of the Board of Directors of The IMPACT Foundation. The winner will be announced at a gala, black-tie event at The Pacific Club in Newport Beach, California on December 8.

The Griswold Tigers won big Thursday night at home against the Boyer Valley Bulldogs by ending the game 14-0 in the top of the third. Griswold set the tone early with starting pitcher Dakota Reynolds throwing three straight strikeouts in the top of the first. The Tigers then had 4 runs in the bottom of the first off of 5 hits. Reynolds again retired the side in the top of the second and the Tigers would then blow things open in the bottom. It started with two consecutive walks which then morphed into a 4 hit, 7 walk, and 10 run inning. Which was helped by Dakota Reynolds going 3-3 on the evening with one double and 4 RBI. Joanna Reynolds also contributed with her 2-2 hitting performance and 2 RBI. At the top of the third Boyer Valley had no response from the excellent night of pitching from Dakota Reynolds who threw a no hitter and had 5 strikeouts. She capped the night off by retiring the side once again and finished the game 14-0 for Griswold.

Head Coach Jody Rossell credited the forceful win with how focused her team came out to play.

Another successful aspect from the Tigers was the excellent pitching from Dakota Reynolds.

The win for Griswold puts them up to 5-0 and they will stay at home on Friday to take on Fremont-Mills. On Saturday the Tigers also travel to Atlantic for the Atlantic Invite. It’s a schedule that Coach Rossell is not taking lightly.

The Bulldogs stay winless with the loss at 0-3 and travel to Coon Rapids-Bayard on Friday.

About two year after breaking ground the University of Iowa officially dedicated a new wrestling facility. The 31 million dollar practice facility will house the Hawkeye men’s and women’s wrestling teams. Iowa AD Beth Goetz.

The project was funded entirely by private gifts.

Hawkeye men’s coach Tom Brands says the facility will train world class wrestlers for generations to come.
