Summary
Zach Ortwerth, the overlooked senior tight end wearing number 48, is ready to step up as Iowa’s No. 2 target behind DJ Vonnahme. Standing 6’4” and packing 245 pounds, Ortwerth has quietly amassed 263 receiving yards over three seasons with a stellar 12.5-yard average per catch. After a breakout 54-yard reception against Rutgers as a freshman — his only catch that year — he’s proven he can make big plays. With four starts last season and a chance to thrive in Tim Lester’s offense, Ortwerth’s biggest goal? Snagging his first college touchdown. Don’t sleep on the guy.
