Reece Vander Zee in action

Iowa it all to God, says receiver Reece

A two-touchdown debut game focused the post-game press conference cameras on Iowa Hawkeyes’ wide receiver Reece Vander Zee and his simple message: “I credit my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for giving me this opportunity.”

In the first game of Vander Zee’s college career he helped the Hawkeyes to a 40-0 win against Illinois State University Redbirds.
