For Iowa, he fills a big need at defensive tackle and should be in the mix for playing time right away on the Hawkeyes’ defense in 2025.

Overall, Pace is the second addition for Iowa from the transfer portal this recruiting cycle, joining quarterback Hank Brown, who announced his commitment in mid-December.
