Preston Ries not aware of freaks list.

If you want evidence that Preston Ries is locked into Iowa football, look no further than the fact that he had zero awareness that he was a Top 50 player on The Athletic’s Freaks List of college football players. He had no idea that he made the list, but when he did learn of it, the redshirt freshman linebacker ended up giving all the credit to the strength and conditioning staff for the training they put him through during the year.

Ries also discusses what positions he is working at among the three spots at linebacker and the what it is like to play for Iowa linebacker coach Seth Wallace.
