Higgins is the kind of player that provides a boost as much with his leadership and understanding of the game as with his actual performance. Championship level player that every team could use more of. If nothing more I can easily see him being a beastly special teamer.
20 FBS players have recorded 100+ tackles in 2024.

Of those 20, 13 have recorded 1+ sack in 2024.
Of those 13, 3 have recorded 4+ INT in 2024.
Of those 3, ONLY one (1) has also forced a fumble in 2024:
• Jay Higgins (Iowa) - 106 tkl, 1.0 sack, 4 INT, 2 FF

#Iowa LB Jay Higgins has been especially impressive dropping in coverage and getting his hand on the football. Has an interception in each of the last two weeks, a nice PBU in coverage against Minnesota, and a forced fumble vs. Iowa State.
