My favorite Michigan player ever. Dominated from the inside linebacker position. The team had slight rut with no Big Ten titles during his time so his legend isn't what it would be if they had but he was something special. 2 time captain.
I was in Evanston in 1995 for a game that is extremely underrated all time. In Pat Fitzgerald and Jarrett it was an inside linebacker clinic. Fitzgerald was the 1995 and 1996 player of year but I thought Irons was better (both were great).
1995 was Northwestern's magical run and one of the biggest comebacks in the sports history, they had been brutal forever and ended up in the rose bowl. I don't think they get there if Irons doesn't hurt his ankle and miss the 4th quarter in evanston in 1995 allowing an NU comeback win.
Anyways, great player and seems like a great guy. An awesome listen on the In The Trenches podcast.
