Iowa redshirt junior Charlie Jones has been named the Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week. Jones returned a punt 54 yards for a touchdown in the Hawkeyes’ 49-7 win over Michigan State. He transferred to Iowa from the University of Buffalo and is a walk-on with the Hawkeyes. He says he transferred mainly for the competition.

Jones says he enjoys the challenge of returning punts.

He’ll get more chances at Minnesota come Friday night.
