An Iowa Hawkeye and Davenport Assumption football player will soon sport a Super Bowl ring.

Jake Gervase has been a Los Angeles Ram for nearly two years, and on Sunday helped them win the Super Bowl.

In the spring of 2019, he was first signed by the NFL team as an "undrafted rookie free agent," mainly playing on the practice squad.

But for the big game, Gervase was listed on the Rams' Super Bowl special teams roster.

He was a walk-on for the Iowa Hawkeyes in 2014 and ended up playing 44 games.
