Coaches rave about his preparation and mental approach to the game, while more than one teammate has already compared his play to that of another former walk-on at Iowa, Sean Considine. Those are some lofty expectations for Brett Greenwood, but ones he hopes to strive for starting this year. Greenwood talks about his progress, the competition at safety, and much more.

Q: Can you talk about your progress since we last saw you in the spring?

GREENWOOD: The big focus in the summer with Coach Doyle and his staff is strength in the weight room and out here conditioning. I've been doing a little film work just watching what we did in the spring so I can keep on learning.

Q: What's the competition been like at safety?

GREENWOOD: It's going to be pretty heated. We've got a lot of guys back there fighting for positions, which is a good thing because we make each other better. In the long run, it's going to help us out.

Q: What's different this year coming in compared to last year as a true freshman?
