Sporting News honors Hawks

On Wednesday, The Sporting News recognized Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz and seven Hawkeye football players for their accomplishments during the 2009 season.

The magazine selected Ferentz as the Big Ten Coach of the Year. The 11-year Iowa head coach earned the conference’s Coach of the Year crown on Nov. 23.

The publication chose five Hawkeyes — sophomore Tyler Sash, juniors Bryan Bulaga, Karl Klug, and Amari Spievey and senior Pat Angerer — for the All-Big Ten squad. The Sporting News also selected Bulaga as a first team All-American weeks after he was named the Big Ten’s Offensive Lineman of the Year.

Two redshirt freshmen made the All-Big Ten freshman team — running back Adam Robinson and offensive lineman Riley Reiff.
