Xavier Nwankpa finds a home at free safety.

For the first three years of his Iowa career, Xavier Nwankpa was the Hawkeyes strong safety. While he played well there, in his heart he knew that moving to free safety was where he wanted to be. This spring, the in-state standout made that move following the graduation of Quinn Schulte.

Nwankpa talks about settling in at the free safety position and how he feels comfortable there. He also talks about the impact of a new analyst in his film study, and he also discusses a few NBA topics.
