Khalil had a nice career for the Hawks. He was troubled as he sat out his whole sophomore season. He was also a very good special teams player as he returned kicks and punts. He became the first freshman to lead the team in receptions. Ended with 152 career receptions. 49. DT-Karl Klug-2007-2010

When he signed out of a tiny Minnesota school some people compared him to Chad Greenway who came from a tiny South Dakota school. While he never became a Chad Greenway, he ended up being a very good player for Iowa. Klug was a key reserve as a sophmore and than started two seasons. He sometimes was underrated lining up next to the likes of Christian Ballard and Adrian Clayborn but he had a very nice career. Klug also had a nice rookie season for the Titans last year. 48. DT-Matt Kroul-2005-2008

Kroul was never a star but was a solid player. His most impressive stat was that he started all 50 games of his career which was an Iowa record. Along with Mitch King, Kroul was a very nice DT tackle combination. Ended career with 238 tackles and was on the team's leadership team every year. Kroul is now a member of the New York Jets as an offensive lineman. He will try to make the team this year.

Moeaki may be the most talented TE to play for Iowa but he struggled to stay healthy. Moeaki had a very nice senior year earning first team All-Big Ten honors.

42. WR-Clinton Soloman-2002, 2004-2005
(http://hawkeyelocator.wordpress.com/)
Soloman had a very nice career for Iowa. He only played 3 years for Iowa as he missed his sophomore year due to academics and played at junior college. In three years though, he had a very nice career with 118 receptions, 1,864 yards(7th best in school history), and 14 touchdowns. His best year was his junior year when he caught 58 passes for 905 yards.
41. P-Ryan Donahue-2007-2010

It may seem weird to have a punter but he was a key weapon for Iowa throughout his career. He had a nice leg but also was good at kicking inside the 20 and avoiding touch backs. Iowa had some nice defensive teams during his tenure at Iowa and having a punter like Donahue backing up opposing offenses made Iowa even tougher. Donahue made the roster of the Detroit Lions last year as a rookie free agent.
