Iowa has announced the 2009 leadership group. The group looks solid and confirms that players like Ricky Stanzi and Pat Angerer have emerged as leaders over the spring. I like that Marvin McNutt is part of the group. From all accounts it sounds like he had a great spring and has made big stride in his conversion from quarterback to receiver. Over at Black Heart Gold Pants, they are surprised by Adrian Clayborn's inclusion on the group considering the charges against him. Hopefully the Clayborn situation will all work itself out. One good thing to note, though, is that Broderick Binns has shown flashes of great play and is on the leadership group even as the backup defensive end.
Here is the group:
Pat Angerer - LB, Senior, Bettendorf, IA
Broderick Binns - DE, Sophomore, St. Paul, MN
Bryan Bulaga - OL , Junior, Crystal Lake, IL
Greg Castillo - DB, Freshman, Mt. Laurel, NJ
Adrian Clayborn - DE, Junior, St. Louis, MO
A.J. Edds - LB, Senior, Greenwood, IN
Brett Greenwood - DB, Junior, Bettendorf, IA
Marvin McNutt - WR, Sophomore, St. Louis, MO
Tony Moeaki - TE, Senior, Wheaton, IL
Tyler Nielsen - LB, Sophomore, Humboldt, IA
Tyler Sash - DB, Sophomore, Oskaloosa, IA
Ricky Stanzi - QB, Junior, Mentor, OH
James Vandenberg - QB, Freshman, Keokuk, IA
