Zach Ortwerth on Iowa's tight ends

With Addison Ostrenga out due to injury, Zach Ortwerth now sits at the top of the Iowa depth chart at the tight end position. He is being backed up by veteran Hayden Large and redshirt freshman DJ Vonnahme, who also saw plenty of action this past Saturday against Iowa State.
Ortwerth met with the media on Tuesday to discuss the loss to Ostrenga and the impact that will have on the roster. He also talks about what he has seen from the development of Vonnahme in his first two years on campus. Also, true freshman Thomas Meyer appears to be on the cusp of playing. What has Ortwerth seen from him thus far this year? We also discuss Ortwerth’s thoughts on the use of the slow mesh for the Iowa offense and what it’s like to be involved with it.
