Logan Lee
Wins the gap play after play. Fourth year in the Iowa defensive front. A game that shows it: 10 tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss against Purdue — Week 6, 2023.
Play style
Stout at the point of attack — steady tackle-for-loss production without a standout pass-rush number.
Activity vs finishing · season enumeration
What the box score actually says
55 tackles. 3 passes defended. 0 interceptions. 5.5 TFL.
Counts only, never a rate — splash-event sample sizes this small (interceptions, pass breakups, TFL) are noise as a rate and signal only as a tally.
