Dominates special teams Wetjen accrued zero targets while recording a punt return touchdown during Saturday's 20-17 win versus Michigan State.

Impact In a rarity, Wetjen was maybe the true impact player of the game without catching a single pass. The 5-foot-9 receiver recorded an 18-yard rush in the game, but his true impact game on special teams, where he totaled 147 punt return yards including a 62 yard return to the house in the first quarter, giving the Hawkeyes an early lead. Wetjen will hope for one final impact performance when the Hawkeyes face Nebraska in the team's regular season finale on Friday.

Two total scores against UMass Wetjen accrued rushed once for 20 yards and a touchdown and scored a punt return touchdown during Saturday's 47-7 win over Massachusetts.

Impact Wetjen recorded just a single touch on offense on the day and took it 20 yards to the house, though his true highlight would come on special teams. The 5-foot-9 receiver fielded a third quarter punt by UMass on his own five yard line and took it 95 yards to the end zone, extending the already insurmountable lead the Hawkeyes had built. Though Wetjen made the most of his limited opportunities while demonstrating his big-play ability, he has totaled just three touches on offense this season and cannot be trusted on a weekly basis.
