Reliable Iowa TE Who Built His Rep on Toughness and Trust
Nate Wieting is best remembered as a physical, dependable Iowa tight end who carved out snaps with blocking grit, football IQ, and a steady all-around game rather than flashy numbers. In the 2019 season, he played in 11 games with nine starts, caught 10 passes for 117 yards, and missed time with injury; over his Iowa career he finished with 13 catches for 185 yards and earned three Academic All-Big Ten honors. That profile says “coach’s favorite” in the best possible way: smart, tough, and built for a system that values details.
