Former Iowa offensive lineman Cody Ince died over the weekend, the school said Tuesday. Ince was 23.

A cause of death hasn’t been revealed.

An obituary posted online by a funeral home said Ince passed away Saturday at his home near Grantsburg, Wis.

Ince was part of the program from 2018-21 and started in 10 of 29 games played. He started six games in 2020 and four in 2021.

“I am incredibly sad to hear about Cody Ince’s sudden passing,” Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz said in a statement. “Cody was a tremendous young man, valued teammate, and contributor to our program. He loved football, fishing and hunting, and believed in the importance of family and friendships.

“Cody was just beginning this next chapter of his life and was about to be married. Mary (Ferentz’s wife) and I are heartbroken for his fiancee, his family and all his friends who knew and loved him. All of us in the football program — his coaches and teammates — are mourning his loss.”

Ince didn’t return for the 2022 season due to injury issues.
