The Iowa Hawkeyes dipped into the Sunflower State to ensure that the tradition of Tight End U keeps rolling right along.

Gavin Hoffman announced his commitment to the Hawkeyes, bringing Iowa’s 2024 recruiting class up to 15 pledges. The 6-foot-5, 225 pound tight end hails from Blue Valley Northwest in Overland Park, Kan.

Hoffman is a consensus three-star commit across 247Sports, On3 and Rivals. 247Sports ranks Hoffman as the nation’s No. 34 tight end and as the No. 5 player from Kansas. On3 regards Hoffman as the No. 37 tight end and No. 5 player from Kansas.

“I am thrilled to announce my commitment to The University of Iowa to continue my academic and football career. I am very humbled by this opportunity and I can’t wait to get to work with Coach Ferentz and Coach Hodge! GO HAWKEYES,” Hoffman wrote in his social media announcement.

Hoffman chose the Hawks over offers from a number of Power 5 programs including Arizona State, Arkansas, Auburn, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, Purdue, Tennessee, and Texas Tech. He was also receiving interest from in-state schools Kansas and Kansas State.

Ball State, Eastern Michigan, Marshall, Miami (Ohio), New Mexico State, Northern Iowa, Old Dominion and Western Michigan offered Hoffman as well.
