Jonah Pace brings veteran, high-motor beef to Iowa’s front
In the 2025 season, Jonah Pace has given Iowa a sturdy, versatile interior presence after transferring in from Central Michigan, where he piled up 34 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, four sacks, six QB hurries, a forced fumble, and a blocked kick in 2024. He’s a big-bodied, 6-foot-5, 285-pound DL with real disruption upside, and the best part is the motor: he can collapse pockets, stack on early downs, and still flash pass-rush juice. If you want a dependable, physical trench worker who can fit Iowa’s defense, Pace checks a lot of boxes.
