Rivals.com has released its post spring Power Rankings by position. Four Iowa Hawkeyes have made the top 25 at their respective position. The highest ranked Hawk is junior tackle Bryan Bulaga. Bulaga is ranked the 9th best offensive lineman in the country. Also highly ranked is TE Tony Moeaki coming in at 11th. Moeaki was a highly touted recruit, however has been slowed by numerous injuries. This ranking must be based on potential because he hasn't had a chance to put up big numbers yet. At linebacker, Pat Angerer ranks 20th. Angerer led the Hawkeyes in tackles last year with 107 and is expected to be the leader of the defense. Coming in at 13th in the defensive backs is Amari Spievey. Spievey really turned into a lock down corner by the end of the year and is said to possibly be the best cornerback in the Kirk Ferentz era by Norm Parker. Speaking of Norm Parker, he also is ranked on the best defensive coordinators list and is 8th. Iowa had the 12th overall best defense last year and were 5th in scoring defense only giving up 13 points per game. With 8 starters returning, Norm's defense could be even better this year. Last but not least, the captain comes in as the 21st best head coach. Kirk Ferentz was ranked number 5 in another list by Rivals earlier, but it is clear either way, he is an excellent coach for Iowa.
