Iowa football tight end TJ Hockenson, a sophomore from Chariton, Iowa, made history this afternoon when he was announced as the winner of the John Mackey Award given to the nation’s tight end.
This caps quite an eventful week for the Hawkeye tight end, and it was something we specifically predicted a few weeks ago after he was named one of three finalists for the prestigious award.
Last week, Hockenson received First Team and Second Team All-Big Ten honors by the coaches and media in addition to receiving the 2018 Kwalick-Clark Big Ten Tight End of the Year Award.
