Iowa punter Rhys Dakin on spring drills

Iowa punter Rhys Dakin says an entire off-season will give him a chance to work on areas of improvement. The native of Australia was a second-team All-Big Ten choice last season and a freshman All-American after averaging just over 44 yards per punt and had 29 downed inside the 20-yard line. Dakin says a big focus for him this spring has been consistency. Dakin says working on the technical aspects will also help him with ball placement. Dakin is working with a new long snapper this spring. Redshirt freshman Ike Speltz is replacing All-American Luke Elkin. The Hawkeyes close spring drills with an open practice in Kinnick Stadium on April 26th.
