Iowa’s News Now (IOWA CITY, Iowa) — On November 18, when the University of Iowa football team plays Illinois at home in their final home game, suspended lineman Noah Shannon will be the honorary captain.
The all-Big Ten defensive tackle was given a season-long suspension at Iowa for placing a wager on an athletic event other than football.
The Aurora, Illinois, native was a two-time honorable mention all-conference selection. He earned the team’s Hustle Award (defense) and Hayden Fry Award (defense) as a junior and senior, respectively.
