Another key member of the Iowa football team’s defense has decided to stick around for one more season.

Fifth-year senior defensive back Sebastian Castro announced Saturday on social media that he will return next season rather than enter the 2024 NFL draft. His announcement simply read: “Let’s run it back.”

Castro joins senior linebacker Jay Higgins and junior cornerback Jermari Harris as defensive players who have announced they will return to Iowa for one more season.

However, Iowa suffered a setback on defense when All-America junior cornerback Cooper DeJean announced on Friday that he would enter the 2024 NFL draft.
