For most programs, it would be too late to enter the battle for a highly sought-after 2027 tight end prospect. Iowa isn't most programs, especially when it comes to tight ends.

The Hawkeyes are still working on their 2027 recruiting class, and now they're looking to add some prolific talent to the group. Iowa already has legacy commit Jaxx DeJean in the 2027 class at the tight end position, where they'll look to pair him with a rising star from Oklahoma.

On Tuesday night, 2027 three-star tight end Ben Kolar announced on social media that he's received an offer from the Hawkeyes.

Kolar is from Norman, Oklahoma, and Norman North High School. The 6-foot-3, 225-pound tight end is ranked as the 389th-best prospect in the 2027 class, according to 247Sports. He's the ninth-best prospect from the state of Oklahoma in the 247Sports rankings.

Kolar holds 30 Division I offers, with programs like Miami, Michigan, Penn State, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, and Tennessee all in the mix for his services. His monster junior season at Norman North is a huge reason why he's such a hot commodity in the recruiting circles now.

In just nine games last season, Kolar had 44 receptions for 622 yards and eight touchdowns. He was the Timberwolves' second-leading receiver in 2025, despite missing a pair of games. He has the size and production to make coaching staffs salivate about his potential at the next level.

It'll be a tough battle, but anytime Iowa's in the mix for a tight end, they can never be ruled out as legitimate contenders to land the prospect.
