Solomon Tea gives Northwestern Iowa a burst of playmaking juice
In the 2026 season, Solomon Tea has already shown he can impact the game as both a runner and receiver, including a 25-yard touchdown catch against Western Illinois and 26 receiving yards on two catches[6][7][10]. He’s a compact, tough back at about 5-foot-9 and 185 pounds who brings quickness, burst, and versatility rather than just straight-line pounding, and he’s already been trusted in scoring situations[2][3]. If a team wants a back who can create splash plays and stay useful in multiple roles, Tea is absolutely worth a look—he looks like a steady, high-energy fit with upside.
