And then there was an even dozen. Michael Burt, a tight end out of Creighton Prep, committed to the Iowa Hawkeyes. The Omaha, Neb., native picked up his offer from Iowa just several short weeks ago.
Now, the three-star product is the latest member of Iowa’s 2024 class. 247Sports, On3 and Rivals each rate Burt as a three-star commit. The 6-foot-5, 230 pound tight end caught 11 passes for 187 yards with one score last season with Creighton Prep per MaxPreps.
According to On3, Burt is the nation’s No. 51 tight end and the No. 8 player from the Cornhusker State. 247Sports lists Burt as the No. 62 tight end and as the No. 9 player from Nebraska.
Burt chose Iowa over offers from fellow Big Ten programs Illinois, Minnesota, and Nebraska. He also had offers from Eastern Michigan, Miami (Ohio), Northern Illinois, Northern Iowa, South Dakota, South Dakota State and Southeast Missouri State.
COMMITTED!!!

“I want to first start off by thanking God for blessing me with this amazing opportunity and giving me the ability to do what I love. Second, I want to thank my amazing parents, siblings, and family who have sacrificed so much for me to be here today. I wouldn’t be who I am without all of their help, pushing me, encouraging me and being by my side on this journey.
“Next, I want to thank all the coaches and trainers who have impacted me in every sport. Thank you to all the Creighton Prep coaches and community who have helped me grow as a person. I want to thank my teammates for pushing me everyday to limits I couldn’t reach alone. Lastly, I want to thank my friends and everyone who has supported me over the years. I am grateful for all of you.
With that being said I am extremely honored to announce I have committed to the University of Iowa to continue my academic and football career. Go Hawkeyes!!” Burt wrote on social media.
