Sebastian Castro named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week
The Iowa Hawkeye football team earned their first Big Ten weekly honor on Monday morning. Sebastian Castro earned Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week honors after his pick six touchdown against Iowa State on Saturday afternoon. He also had four tackles in the game.
This was Castro’s first career interception, but his second touchdown. The pick-six was Iowa’s first of the season and marked the 16th consecutive season that a Hawkeye defender has returned an interception for a score, the second longest active streak in the country.
The last time that Iowa had a Big Ten Player of the Week was last season when All American Jack Campbell was honored in late November.
