Quinton Alston is a former Iowa linebacker who fit the Hawkeyes’ long-running mold: disciplined, assignment-sound, and reliable in the middle of the defense. He was recognized for academic excellence throughout his college career, which lines up with the kind of football IQ Iowa has historically prized. He also entered the Big Ten spring mix as a projected front-runner at linebacker, a sign of trust in his instincts and consistency.
