With Luke Lachey and Addison Ostrenga sidelined due to injury, other tight ends have had to step up. One of those emerging players is sophomore Zach Ortwerth, who hauled in a 52 yard reception last week in Iowa’s win over Wisconsin.

Ortwerth knows he has a lot to learn and he’s hearing about his mistakes from Lachey and Ostrenga to help him continue to improve. He talks about his big catch and the areas he has to continue to improve as the season goes along.
