FAMOUS QUOTES from Kelby Telander

It’s very important to me that I’m here, at Iowa – they changed my whole life with the cochlear implant at the hospital, and I just couldn’t see myself going (to play football) anywhere else. And it’s more than just about football – it’s the people, the connections I’ve made here, the doctors and nurses. It was more than just football – it’s also the people outside of the football world.
11/29/2021... - Link to source - When thinking back on his time as Kid Captain in 2009 and joining the football program in 2021.
