TE Johnny Pascuzzi walking on at Iowa
Tight end Johnny Pascuzzi has made his college decision. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound Kansas City native will be joining the Iowa Hawkeyes as a preferred walk-on next season.
Pascuzzi, who has family ties to the state of Iowa, also considered preferred walk-on opportunities from Missouri, Kansas, and Kentucky.
"I decided to pick Iowa for a couple reasons," said Pascuzzi. "I really loved the campus and it felt like home. My dad is also from Des Moines, so I grew up watching the Hawkeyes and I have a lot of extended family living in Iowa."
"Then I think the opportunity is as good as it gets," Pascuzzi said. "I could be going in as the only tight end in our class."
"Regardless, I am just happy to be a Hawkeye and ready to get to work."
