Iowa’s steady, physical tackle pushing for a bigger 2026 role
Jack Dotzler is a 6-foot-6, 312-pound Iowa offensive lineman whose value is in his size, toughness, and patience in a development-heavy Hawkeye system. In the 2025 season, he played in all 13 games as a backup tackle, and Iowa’s staff has viewed him as a key rotational piece who could slide into a starting role in 2026. He has the classic Iowa profile: dependable, technically grounded, and built for the run game, with earlier reps helping power a 254-yard rushing day in 2023 and a 310-yard opener in 2025. If your team wants a battle-tested, versatile trench guy with upside, he’s a fit.
