Noah Clayberg brings Iowa-style toughness and versatility to the Hawkeyes secondary
Clayberg has been described by Iowa as a high-work-ethic player who did a strong job in the out-of-season program, and his background as a quarterback/safety combo points to a versatile, football-smart defensive back rather than just a pure athlete.[1][2] That kind of profile matters because Iowa values reliability, toughness, and adaptability in the secondary, making him a better fit for teams that want disciplined coverage, physical run support, and a player who can process the game quickly.[1][2]
