Welcome back to our countdown to the Iowa Hawkeyes football season. We’re back with a walk-on out of western Iowa. The walk-on will look to follow in the path of past tight ends who came from relative obscurity to become contributors. But it’s Iowa, so no one’s path to playing time at TE is too obscure.
