Our next Hawkeye is a high potential tight end who redshirted 2020.
Elijah Yelverton - RS Freshman
Royse City, TX (Trinity Christian)
6’5”, 247 lbs
2021 Projection: Rotational tight end
Yelverton committed to Iowa in spring 2019 as the ninth player of the 2020 class. His three recruiting stars undersold his talent, as he held offers from a number of SEC schools among the dozens who offered him.
His highlights show a multi-dimensional tight end who can line up a number of spots, make his man miss through and around contact, and a willing blocker.
