Zach Twedt is a reliable Iowa depth linebacker with proven special-teams value
In the 2025 season, Zach Twedt was a steady, low-drama contributor for Iowa: the Hawkeyes list him as a graduate linebacker, and he earned the Coaches Appreciation Award on defense after appearing in games again in 2025 and previously playing in all 13 games in 2024.[1][12] His fit is about dependability, not flash — a 6-foot-2, 242-pound linebacker who has carved out value with effort, toughness, and special-teams readiness, while the stat sheet remains modest and the upside is more about trust than headline-grabbing production.[1][4][13]
