Iowa City, Iowa –Iowa punter Tory Taylor is working on consistency this spring.
The native of Melbourne, Australia, set a single season punting record for yardage and averaged better than 44 yards per punt last season. He is also one of the Hawkeyes’ most popular players.
Taylor will be a 25-year-old junior when next season begins and he is taking on more of a leadership role among the specialists.
Taylor says his leadership is as much about off the field as on it.
Iowa special teams coordinator LeVar Woods, a West Lyon graduate says Taylor has been forced to adapt to his role as a leader.
Woods says Taylor is being looked on for leadership because of how well he has performed.
