Don't fall for the trick of other schools claiming to be Tight End U. It's an act. It's a game. That title belongs to the Iowa Hawkeyes, and only to them.Since Kirk Ferentz took over as Iowa's head coach in 1999, the Hawkeyes have shipped 14 tight ends to the NFL. In the college football world where tight ends are less and less common with spread offenses ruling the day, that is a big number.No Program Produces Tight Ends Quite Like IowaThe group can be divided into two eras, though. Iowa had a string of tight ends from 2003 to 2009 make their marks. The recent generation, starting in 2017, has had its string of tight ends dominating the game as well.While all have a place in Iowa history, 10 stand above the rest from their time at Iowa, which is what these rankings are based upon, rather than what happened in the NFL.10.
