The Iowa sophomore TE originally committed to the Hawkeyes for baseball, and now three years after his initial choice, found himself in the end zone at Wrigley Field.

Iowa celebrates a touchdown by Iowa tight end Addison Ostrenga during the 2023 Wildcats Classic, a football game between Iowa and Northwestern at Wrigley Field in Chicago on Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023. Iowa had a total of 65 receiving yards. The Hawkeyes defeated the Wildcats, 10-7.

It didn’t take long for the Hawkeyes to light up the scoreboard in the second half, as following a Northwestern three-and-out, Iowa defensive lineman Anterio Thompson blocked his second punt of the season. The sophomore’s play set Iowa up at the Wildcats’ 25-yard line, and seven snaps later, QB Deacon Hill rolled out of the pocket on play action, finding TE Addison Ostrenga for a two-yard score. 

 

He finished the day with three catches for 15 yards.
