ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — The Detroit Lions ignored their relatively recent history when it came to drafting tight ends and focused on the future. Detroit addressed perhaps its top priority, selecting Iowa tight end T.J. Hockenson with the No. 8 overall pick in the NFL draft Thursday night. The Lions were initially interested in trading their first-round pick to acquire more selections, but decided he was too good to pass up.

As the league shifts to passing more, tight ends are becoming a position where teams want difference-makers. “It’s become a valued position,” Hockenson said before the draft. “A three-down tight end who can run past defenders when needed and block when needed is special.”

The 6-foot-5, 251-pound Hockenson won the John Mackey Award last year, honoring the college football’s top tight end. Hockenson had 73 receptions for 1,080 yards and nine receiving touchdowns in his career with the Hawkeyes.

Hockenson, who is from Chariton, Iowa, was a second-team All-America and first-team All-Big Ten player last season. He led Iowa with 760 yards receiving and was second on the team with 49 receptions and six touchdowns.

The Drake Relays get into full swing today at Drake Stadium in Des Moines and will continue through Saturday. High School athletes will have some of their first events in the evening session tonight.

IOWA CITY, Iowa — The University of Iowa women’s basketball team will retire Megan Gustafson’s No. 10, the Henry B. and Patricia B. Tippie Director of Athletics Chair Gary Barta announced Wednesday at the team’s season-end celebration in Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

An official retirement ceremony will take place at a later date. Gustafson is the second Iowa women’s basketball student-athlete to have her number retired. Iowa retired Michelle Edwards’ No. 30 in 1988.

“I was not expecting that,” Gustafson said. “It’s super special to celebrate my team and what we’ve been able to accomplish this year. This is something I’ll never forget for the rest of my life. But again, I have to thank my teammates and my coaches. They have made me into the player and the person that I am.”

Gustafson, the first consensus national player of the year in Big Ten women’s basketball history, ended her career as the most decorated Hawkeye in program history. She owns 16 Iowa records, including career marks for points (2,804) and rebounds (1,460). This season, Gustafson netted 1,001 points to become just the fourth Division I female student-athlete, and the only post player, to eclipse 1,000 points in a single season.

A native of Port Wing, Wisconsin, Gustafson led the nation in five categories, including points per game (27.8), field goal percentage (69.6), total points (1,001), field goals made (412), and double-doubles (33).
