Kevin McGuire of Athlon Sports projects Iowa redshirt junior DE Chauncey Golston to be the defense’s wild card this season.
Golston (6'5/270), who racked up nine tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks in 2018, stands to once again benefit from playing opposite projected top-10 pick A.J. Epenesa. While teams may look to pay extra attention to Epenesa they’ll be doing so at their own risk, as Golston is talented enough to take advantage and win one-on-one matchups. It’s also worth noting that Detroit native also led the Hawkeyes with three fumble recoveries last season.
