Iowa Hawkeyes transfer tight end Johnny Pascuzzi is taking his talents to Morgantown, committing to join the West Virginia Mountaineers via the NCAA Transfer Portal, On3 has learned.

Pascuzzi played high school football at Rockhurst (Kansas City, MO), where he did not have a star-rating as part of the 2021 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

In two seasons with Iowa, Pascuzzi caught two passes for 41 yards. He had one reception in each of the past two seasons. He’ll be looking to make a bigger impact with West Virginia in 2025.
