Former University of Iowa defensive back Brett Greenwood will serve as honorary captain when the Hawkeyes host the Pitt Panthers on Saturday evening.

The former walk-on suffered a neck injury, a combination of a stinger and a jammed neck. His career was over that night but he was made a permanent captain by the Hawkeyes and will make his triumphant return on Saturday.

Greenwood earned second team All-Big Ten honors as both a junior and senior. He helped Iowa post a 28-11 record in his final three seasons, including wins in the Outback, FedEx Orange and Insight bowl games.
