IOWA CITY — Iowa tight end Johnny Pascuzzi is expected to enter the transfer portal, a team spokesman confirmed to The Gazette.
Pascuzzi, who joined the program in 2021 as a walk-on, appeared in 10 games this season and had one reception for 40 yards. He appeared in 11 games in 2023 and had one reception for one yard.
The Hawkeyes still are expected to have plenty of depth at tight end in 2025, with Addison Ostrenga and Zach Ortwerth likely leading the way.
Pascuzzi entered the portal in the last offseason as well before later withdrawing his name and remaining at Iowa. He follows wide receiver Kaleb Brown, running back Leshon Williams and defensive lineman Jeff Bowie as players to depart the program this year.
The December transfer portal window will officially open on Dec. 9.
