(AP) -- If you set out to build a prototype tight end, you might very well end up with Iowa's C.J. Fiedorowicz . 

The 6-foot-7, 265-pound junior seems poised for a breakout season.

He played in all 13 games as a true freshman in 2010 but did not catch a pass.

He didn't do much to distinguish himself early last season, but caught 12 passes for 105 yards and three touchdowns in the last four games.
 
He became a receiver that quarterback James Vandenberg could depend on and he also improved his blocking.

 He finished the season with 16 catches for 167 yard
