Zach Ortwerth ... the next great Iowa Tight End? Michael Burt is "improving at a fast pace."

This is just Zach's 2nd year in the program.

Abdul Hodge on the current #3 Iowa Tight End: "I see him as a 1."

Check this out & watch:

He had a tough drop in the 1st half Saturday. He holds onto that ball, Wetjen's PR doesn't get called back and Jermari doesn't fall down on his INT and the first half Saturday looks a lot diffferent. But it all happened and we still got rolling. Yes I think he'll be another in a long line at TEU.

I agree with the Ortwerth take. Dude is a stud!

Yep, and in the next class watch out for Hoffman from the KC area. Already ready size wise as well...

FWIW, he has been very effective in the 2025 and 2026 seasons of College Football 25 for PS5. (Hoffman has as well)

That catch off the Cade scramble was a thing of beauty...on both ends.

Michael Burt

Side note: We traveled to Omaha last month for my son’s band competition. By chance, I ended up sitting next to a guy wearing a Husker shirt and baseball cap. Friendly Iowa vs. Nebraska ensued.

Turns out this guy works for a local radio station that covers HS sports. Before too long he volunteers that Burt is one of the most impressive hs TE prospects he has ever seen play from the Omaha metro area, including Fant.

Looking forward to see Burt make his mark at Iowa.
