IOWA CITY, Iowa — One thousand six hundred thirty-six points. Six hundred thirty-nine assists. Three hundred sixty-four 3-point field goals.
One more season.
No University of Iowa men’s basketball student-athlete has played more games than Jordan Bohannon’s 143. None have more than his 639 assists or 364 made 3-point field goals.
Bohannon, a senior from Linn-Mar (Iowa) High School in Marion, announced April 26 that he will return to the Hawkeye hardwood for a sixth season. Padding his already impressive list of statistics will take a back seat to tutoring a developing roster.
“(Head coach Fran McCaffery) wants someone to continue to provide leadership for what is about to happen, this incredible journey that we’re on,” Bohannon said. “I always think of myself as a leader and what better way for me to learn more about myself and help others than by coming back to try to accomplish something great.”
