It’s been a big week and a half for a number of Hawkeye student-athletes; as they have taken home awards in bunches.

The Iowa football awards banquet was held on Sunday night, with team Most Valuable Player awards handed out, among others.

The Associated Press announced its All-American football teams on Monday, with two Hawkeyes selected, and three Hawkeyes took home Player of the Week awards on the hardcourt.

Football MVPs

Seniors LeShun Daniels Jr., C.J. Beathard, and junior Josey Jewell were named the Roy J. Carver Most Valuable Players on Sunday.

Daniels rushed for more than 1,000 yards this season, his best in a Hawkeye uniform. Getting the bulldozing running back going in November was a big reason for the success Iowa had in the late stages of the season.

Beathard had another good year under center, though his passing numbers didn’t quite match what he accomplished a season ago. However, no matter the outcome of the Outback Bowl, Beathard will leave Iowa with the best winning percentage a Hawkeye quarterback has ever had, with a minimum of 20 starts.

Jewell proved to be one of the best linebackers not only in the Big Ten but the county. He ended the season second in the conference in tackles with 114.

Five team captains were also announced at the banquet — Daniels, Beathard, Jewell, senior Desmond King, and senior Ron Coluzzi.

All-Americans

On top of the team awards King and Jewell received, both were named to All-American teams on Monday.

King was named a second team All-American by the AP, his second-consecutive year garnering All-American status. He was also named second team All-American by the Football Writers Association of America and Phil Steele as a return specialist, and Steele also pegged him as a third-team defensive back.

Jewell, who finished fifth in the Butkus Award voting this season for the nation’s best linebacker, received fourth team All-American honors from Steele.

Big Ten Players of the Week

The gridiron wasn’t the only place Iowa did well in the awards department this past week.

Senior Peter Jok of the men’s basketball team and sophomore Tania Davis of the women’s were both named Big Ten Player of the Week after their performances.

Jok, who had been named Player of the Week earlier this season, averaged 19 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 5 assists over two games versus Stetson and then-No. 25 Iowa State last week.

Davis, in wins over Northern Iowa, Iowa State, and Robert Morris, averaged 18.5 points per game while shooting better than 50 percent from the field, 60 percent from the 3-point line, and perfect from the charity stripe.

Freshman of the Week

Isaiah Moss was rewarded for his play against Stetson and Iowa State with a Big Ten Freshman of the Week award.

Moss scored a career-high 21 points against the Hatters on Dec. 5 and followed that up with a huge 14-point performance against the Cyclones.

The redshirt freshman shot 50 percent from deep over the course of the week.
