IOWA HAWKEYE FOOTBALL RECRUITING 2016: NEW HAWKEYE TIGHT END NOAH FANT

Three-star tight end from Omaha, Nebraska.

Noah Fant

Tight end

Hometown: Omaha, Nebraska

Weight: 210
247 Sports Composite Rating: 3-star, 536th nationally, 33rd tight end

Caring is creepy: Have a seat Noah Fant

COMPARISON: If you're looking for a comparison for recruiting drama, Noah Fant's closes comp is a Real Housewife.  But as a football player, Fant reminds me of former Hawkeye Brandon Myers.  Fant is taller at 6'5", but both were terrific high school athletes. Myers moved beyond Iowa to the NFL and still is in the league moving from Oakland to the New York Giants to Tampa Bay. If Fant can prove he can block, he may see the field as early as 2017 after George Kittle moves on to the NFL.
