Hawkeye Football missed out on an elite 2026 tight end in their backyard

"Tight End U" took a hit over the weekend after failing to sign one of the best tight ends in the nation, and a top Iowa recruit in the 2026 recruiting class.

Under Iowa Head Coach Kirk Ferentz, the Hawkeyes' program has consistently produced top tight end talent for the NFL.

George Kittle, Noah Fant, T.J. Hockenson, Sam LaPorta, Tony Moeaki, C.J. Fiedorowicz, and Dallas Clark are a few of the notable tight ends to come from the University of Iowa and have success in the NFL.
