Iowa Hawkeyes’ Lee pointed in the right direction
MOUNT VERNON, Iowa — Spencer Lee spent several Saturday mornings this fall working in fan assistance at Iowa football games, working in the neighborhood surrounding Kinnick Stadium. Decked out in the brightly-colored shirts the group wears as it fulfills hours needed to complete a class project, the two-time NCAA wrestling champion has largely gone unnoticed while directing fans to the correct stadium entrance or the nearest restroom facilities. “With his glasses on, he looks just like any other student straight out of the library,’’ Iowa coach Tom Brands said.
