Iowa football is in the midst of its second week of fall camp.
On Wednesday, Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz caught up with longtime Hawkeye play-by-play voice Gary Dolphin to update how camp is going.
Ferentz revealed that Iowa’s defensive depth up front has been tested early in camp.
“Up front, Jeremiah Pittman’s been out. Unfortunately he’s coming off a knee repair, so he’s still probably a week or two away from going, but it’s given other guys an opportunity to get in there and work some.
“Obviously, Aaron Graves on one side’s pretty solid and then you’ve got guys like Will Hubert’s really done a good job growing, developing. Bryce Hawthorne, young man from South Dakota State’s really been impressive. Luke Gaffney. So, we’ll have candidates. It’s going to be interesting to see how it all develops and we’ll get Jeremiah back at some point. I think at the end of the day, that group’s going to be fine,” Ferentz said.
Pittman, a 6-foot-2, 285-pound graduate defensive lineman, was listed as one of Iowa’s two starting defensive tackles to begin the spring opposite senior Aaron Graves.
Pittman played in all 13 games last season, registering 17 tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss. The Palatine, Ill., product from St. Viator High School has notched 27 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, one pass breakup and one fumble recovery in his Hawkeye career thus far.
Pittman has played in 26 games in his Iowa career and was a three-star signee per 247Sports in the 2021 class.
