IOWA CITY, Iowa– Expectations are starting to take form ahead of the 2024 Iowa Hawkeye football season. Iowa is returning a plethora of experience on both sides of the ball and there’s optimism that they’ll be able to string together another double-digit win season. As the summer goes along, HawkeyeInsider is going to unveil its list of underrated players heading into the season. There’s not a better example than sixth-year cornerback Jermari Harris.

Harris started 18 games in the 2023 and 2021 season for Iowa as he did not play in 2022. With Cooper DeJean departing for the NFL, Iowa is going to need another cornerback to step up and that person is Harris. The Illinois native finished with 42 tackles, one interception and eight pass deflections this season. Harris missed the first two games of the season due to his involvement with the gambling investigation into the Hawkeye football team.

Harris was Iowa’s third-best overall cornerback this season, according to Pro Football Focus, but still finished with a solid overall grade of 70.8 and a coverage grade of 71.0, which was second-best amongst cornerbacks behind DeJean.
