Shortly after a press conference to promote an event featuring motivational speaker Joe Ehrmann, Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz told local media that three players — son James Ferentz, Zach Derby, and Tyler Christensen — have all been reinstated to the team after the three were arrested on public-intoxication charges last April.

The three players all pleaded guilty to their charges and were held out of the last week-and-a-half of spring practice. Wednesday marked the first time Ferentz had addressed the issue since it occurred.

The event he, wife Mary Ferentz, and former Hawkeye kicker Nate Kaeding were promoting, “An Evening with Joe Ehrmann,” is scheduled for 7 p.m. June 25 at the Englert Theatre, 221 E. Washington St.

Tickets are $12 in advance and $20 the day of, with all proceeds going toward the UI Children’s Hospital. Ehrmann is a former NFL player with the Baltimore Colts and Detroit Lions.
