Noah Fant, Iowa's all-time leader in touchdowns by a tight end, has played his last game as a Hawkeye.
The junior is declaring for the NFL draft and will skip Iowa's bowl game. He tweeted his plans Friday morning.
Fant on Wednesday was named first-team all-Big Ten by the league's coaches after leading the Hawkeyes with seven touchdown catches. He was a first-team selection in the USA TODAY Sports All-America team. ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. lists Fant as his No. 1 tight end for the 2019 draft.
Fant finishes his Iowa career with 78 receptions for 1,083 yards and 19 touchdowns and will go down as one of the great tight ends in Hawkeye history — even if he wasn't considered the best on his team this season.
