"I was on the phone with Coach Copeland this morning and he was talking about how happy he was to see me at the game," said Ahumaraeze. "Then, a few minutes into the call, he told me that they offered me and how he wants to see me continuing to grow as a person and a football player."

For Ahumaraeze, who had Copeland down to to visit for one of his games this season, getting a chance to watch Iowa's 33-23 win over Illinois on Saturday was his first trip to Kinnick Stadium.
