Last year the staff offered a ton of tight ends early on and then kinda cooled off it seemed like. I thought they would land one with Allen and Soehner entering their final season and Kolar probably gong pro after 2020. That leaves the cupboard pretty bare with only Dean and Loving-Black, two kids that have not played a single snap yet and probably won't get much action this year with those three upperclassmen returning.
This year they are offering a lot of tight ends early as well. I hope they make that position a recruiting priority. In reality, they should be able to land some highly rated kids at tight end because of the success Kolar has had and the way ISU uses tight ends, but I don't see a lot of offers to big time prospects at the position. Iowa had two tight ends go in the first round in the 2019 draft and they are using that as a recruiting tool. They landed two really good ones in 2019 and it looks like they are in on some even better ones in the 2020 and 2021 classes.
