Out for Maryland game Vander Zee (foot) is out for Iowa's game Saturday at Maryland, Chad Leistikow of the Des Moines Register reports.
Out for UCLA game Vander Zee (foot) is out for Iowa's game Friday at UCLA, David Eickholt of 247Sports reports.
Impact Vander Zee will log another DNP due to his foot injury. After the Iowa-UCLA game, UI's next matchup is scheduled for Nov. 23 at Maryland. Three weeks of recovery time are available to Vander Zee.
NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Out for Wisconsin game Vander Zee (foot) is out for Iowa's game Saturday against Wisconsin, David Eickholt of 247Sports reports.
Impact Unsurprisingly, the foot injury that caused Vander Zee's mid-game departure in Week 9 will force him to sit out Week 10. He will have only one more regular-season game to play at home this season. But before then, the Hawkeyes play two road games, the first at UCLA on Nov. 8.
OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Not on depth chart for Week 10 Vander Zee (foot) is not listed on the initial depth chart for Saturday's game against Wisconsin.
Impact Vander Zee exited the Week 9 match against Northwestern and didn't return, and his absence from the depth chart for this matchup against the Badgers doesn't bode well for his chances of making a quick return. Vander Zee has 14 catches for 176 yards and three touchdowns in 2024, and his absence would open the door for more playing to the likes of Seth Anderson, Kaden Wetjen and Terrell Washington.
OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Won't return Saturday Vander Zee was spotted in street clothes and a boot after exiting Saturday's game against Northwestern and won't return, David Eickholt of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact Vander Zee didn't record a catch in this game, and his loss will thin the team's depth at wide receiver. The diagnosis of the injury is unclear, but his next chance to play will come against Wisconsin on Nov. 2. He has 14 catches for 176 yards and three touchdowns in 2024, and his absence would open the door for more playing to the likes of Seth Anderson, Kaden Wetjen and Terrell Washington.
OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Finds end zone in loss Vander Zee caught 3 of 6 targets for 47 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 32-20 defeat versus Michigan State.
Impact Vander Zee connected with quarterback Cade McNamara on an 18-yard scoring strike in the second quarter, getting the Hawkeyes on the board for the day and drawing them within five points in the first half. The freshman receiver was one of the few bright spots for the Iowa offense on a day in which McNamara threw for just 150 yards and completed less than 50 percent of his passes. Vander Zee will look to build on his performance when the Hawkeyes host Northwestern this week.
OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Quiet day in loss Vander Zee totaled one reception (on four targets) for 10 yards during Saturday's 20-19 defeat against Iowa State.
Impact After leading the team in receiving yards in Iowa's season opener, Vander Zee had a quiet day against Iowa State on a day in which quarterback Cade McNamara struggled to get things going through the air. The freshman receiver will hope to get back on track when the Hawkeyes host Troy on Saturday.
SEPTEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Listed as Week 2 starter Vander Zee is listed as a starter for the Hawkeyes on the depth chart for their Week 2 tilt with Iowa State.
Impact Vander Zee's collegiate debut was certainly something. The true freshman scored twice and caught five balls for 66 yards in Iowa's opener against Illinois State. Now, he's earned himself a starting spot amongst a group of Iowa wide receivers searching for consistent playmakers in the passing game. If he continues to play like he did in the opener, he could quickly become one of Cade McNamara's favorite targets.
SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Scores twice in opener Vander Zee had five receptions (on seven targets) for 66 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 40-0 victory over Illinois State.
Impact The freshman receiver made quite the impression in his collegiate debut, securing a pair of second half touchdowns that helped the Hawkeyes create separation from Illinois State after a quiet first half. The apparent chemistry between Vander Zee and quarterback Cade McNamara is very encouraging to see, as an improved Iowa offense could lead the 6-foot-4 freshman to a productive season. A home matchup against in-state rival Iowa State awaits next week.
