KIRK FERENTZ STATEMENT ON CHRISTENSEN, FERENTZ AND DERBY
IOWA CITY -- Three Iowa football players, freshmen FB Tyler Christensen, OL James Ferentz and TE Zach Derby, were cited by law enforcement for an alcohol related incident late last night.
Below is a statement by Head Coach Kirk Ferentz on the incident.
"It was very disappointing to learn of the behavior of our three players last night. Short term, all three will be suspended for the remainder of spring practice and they will be expected to fulfill significant community service obligations the next several weekends. Additional action will be determined at a later point and return to the team will be based on additional criteria."
