Ben Johnson

So we brought it back next.

Zay's a guy we've had here for over a year, and it's just one of those things when we're looking at the roster, where he's at, where we're at, it was time to part ways.

So appreciate everything that he contributed while he was here, and it opens up a roster spot and an opportunity to make this team.

Yeah, we were hopeful and just wasn't going that direction.

The trajectory was off, and so we decided to go a different direction.

a lot of opinions from guys we trust that muhammad also was one of those so let's listen to what ben johnson had to say about al harris and malik muhammad and that relationship that can flourish i think for all of our defensive backs it's uh it's one of the better situations that you could ask for just i think the world of al um we were very fortunate to get him back and uh he's a great teacher um

I think he's very systematic about the process with which we want to go about our business.

And so because of that, I think he's got some really good building blocks for young players if they trust him and they buy into his way of coaching that they're going to have success.

His track record says that.

And so I think Malik is a very sharp young man, and he's going to be able to embrace that coaching style with open arms.

I said it a couple weeks ago, you know, Coach Rochard and Coach Devan, they made some rounds this offseason just making sure we did due diligence on a number of players.

And Logan was one that stood out.

And, you know, my visit with him when he was here was extremely impressed by football knowledge, makeup, performance.

very mature and to me it's not we're getting a rookie, we're getting a guy that's a little bit more of a seasoned player which really is not uncommon for those Iowa linemen.

So I think he's going to fall kind of next in line for a really good program the next guy out.

How quickly can he be ready to play at this level?

Time will tell.

The ball's in his court as far as I'm concerned and he understands that

Just like with everyone else, we're looking to create competition and consistency day after day and building trust, not only with Caleb and the other quarterbacks, but within that offensive line room and then obviously with the coaching staff.

So it's just a matter of time to build trust.
