Iowa Hawkeyes Football Position Breakdown: Tight End

One nickname the Iowa Hawkeyes football team has had over the years is "Tight End University." With the great success of players in the NFL today like George Kittle, T.J. Hockenson, and Sam LaPorta, among others, there's no question that talent has come out at the position over the years.

Although the Hawkeyes will be without their top TE in Luke Lachey, they still bring back several experienced players who should be productive this season. Let's look at who fans should expect to see at TE this season.

Starter: Addison Ostrenga
