2018 Outlook
Sophomore Branden Hohenstein is among a young group of players who will compete for playing time at tight end this fall. The 6-4, 225-pound Hohenstein has provided depth at the position the past two years behind a number of veteran tight ends who have completed their eligibility. Hohenstein joined the program as a walk-on from Sioux City Heelan High. Hohestein was an Academic All-Big Ten selection in 2017.
