Drew Ott brings proven edge pressure and Big Ten production to Iowa’s defensive line
Drew Ott was a high-upside Iowa defensive end recruit and later became a disruptive Big Ten lineman, producing **15.5 sacks**, **57 solo tackles**, and a reputation for playing with relentless effort and power.[1][2][7] His differentiators are his length, toughness, and ability to impact both the run and pass game, but his profile is also shaped by a significant medical-hardship/eligibility dispute that limited his continuity and underscores durability concerns.[4][7] If you want a lineman with real pass-rush upside and competitive intensity, Ott fits; if you need a fully clean availability history, that is the question mark.[2][4]
