Luke Lachey may be the next in a long line of Iowa tight ends to eventually play in the NFL. The native of Columbus, Ohio is coming off a sophomore season in which had 24 receptions, including four for touchdowns and is garnering preseason All-Big Ten recognition.

The Hawkeyes have added 13 players through the transfer portal, including former Michigan quarterback Cade McNamara.

Lachey says adding size and strength has been a priority.

The Hawkeyes open at home on September second against Utah State.
