One Iowa Hawkeye finds themselves on this week’s availability report.
As the Iowa Hawkeyes (3-2, 1-1 Big Ten) gear up to host the Washington Huskies (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten), UI released its weekly availability report.
Junior tight end Addison Ostrenga was listed as out. The 6-foot-4, 251 pound tight end exited Iowa’s 35-7 loss at Ohio State and was seen with a sling.
It’s not a surprise to see Ostrenga on the sidelines this week. Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz indicated this would be the case earlier this week during his press conference to preview the date against the Huskies.
“Injury-wise, Addison is probably going to be out this week. I don’t see anything that’s realistic to think he’ll make it back. A lot of guys with injuries coming out of that game. Physical game, both sides. But I think based on what I saw today, I think we have a chance to have everybody ready Saturday outside of Ostrenga,” Ferentz said

Ostrenga has 11 catches for 63 yards with one touchdown on the season. In 2023, the Sun Prairie, Wis., product reeled in 31 receptions for 192 yards and two scores.
Iowa also revealed this week that junior wide receiver Kaleb Brown and senior running back Leshon Williams both intended to leave the program and transfer.
“I applaud both guys because what you don’t want is somebody in the program that doesn’t have both feet in the circle and totally committed to the team, doing well. At this level, it takes everybody. It takes everybody on the team. I applaud them, wish them the best, and appreciate what they have done,” Ferentz said.
Iowa kicks off against Washington at 11 a.m. on Fox.
