The Iowa Hawkeyes have done it again! Somehow, someway, just as the sun comes up in the east and sets in the west every single day, the Hawkeyes have found yet another tight end who appears to be the next in line of many great ones.
Due to injuries and being forced to play, DJ Vonnahme, a walk-on, was thrust into action, and he has blossomed into a budding star for the Iowa offense after his play in 2025. He quickly became a trusty and reliable target for quarterback Mark Gronowski, highlighted by the exclamation point he had in the Hawkeyes' ReliaQuest Bowl win.

After leading Iowa's receivers in the 34-27 win, DJ Vonnahme has earned honors as a selection to the AP All-Bowl Team.
Against the Vanderbilt Commodores, DJ Vonnhame was essentially unguardable and made chunk play after chunk play. He finished the bowl game with a career-high in both yards and receptions, reeling in seven passes for 146 yards and a touchdown.
On the year, Vonnahme, the 6-foot-4, 240-pound redshirt freshman from Carroll Kuemper High School and Breda, Iowa, had 29 catches for 434 yards and three touchdowns. He was Iowa's leader in receptions, yards, receiving touchdowns.
