## Resource

Iowa’s tight end future just got brighter with D.J. Vonnahme exploding as a redshirt freshman, especially in the second half of 2025, where he dominated with over 140 yards and a TD in the bowl game. His elite route running and size make him a starter ready for 2026. Behind him, Thomas Meyer—undrafted but high-upside—could form a dynamic duo with Vonnahme, while seniors Addison Ostrenga and Zach Ortwerth provide experience and blocking, and sophomore Michael Burt adds depth. Iowa’s tight end pipeline is firing on all cylinders. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
