Kirk Ferentz’ team should have no shortage of players at tight end for years to come.

The Hawkeyes received a commitment from class of 2011 prospect Jake Duzey Wednesday. He is the third 2011 tight end to commit to Iowa, joining Ray Hamilton (Strongsville, Ohio) and Henry Krieger-Coble (Mount Pleasant).

Duzey, a native of Troy, Mich., recorded 37 catches for 535 yards and six touchdowns during his junior season at Athens High School in 2009. Scout.com lists Duzey as a three-star prospect.

“He is tall with good overall bulk and the frame to add considerable size and strength in a short period time,” ESPN.com’s recruiting evaluation said. “He is a prospect with deceptively good straight-line speed.”

Duzey is the ninth 2011 recruit to commit to Iowa. He joins Hamilton and Krieger-Coble, quarterback Jake Rudock (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.), defensive John Raymon (Newton, Pa.), wide receivers Austin Vincent (DeSoto, Texas), Marcus Grant (Groton, Mass.), and JaCorey Shepherd (Mesquite, Texas), and offensive lineman Austin Blythe (Williamsburg).
