Iowa’s Developing TE With NFL-Style Frame and Room to Grow
Michael Burt is a 6-foot-5, 249-pound Iowa tight end whose value is more about projection than production right now: in the 2025 season, he played in seven games with no statistics, and in 2024 he saw his first action but again recorded no stats[1][3]. His biggest differentiators are the Hawkeyes’ classic tight-end build, developmental upside, and the fact that he was already back in spring practice ahead of 2026 after an undisclosed issue[3][4]. If you want a physical, system-fit tight end with patience required, Burt is interesting; if you need instant catches, he’s still a wait-and-see bet[1][3].
