GONE BABY GONE: JALEN EMBRY TO TRANSFER

Another young defensive back heads for the exit.

Stop me if you've heard this one before... a young defensive back not on the depth chart is transferring out of Iowa. Didn't I just write this story a few weeks ago? Oh, right, I did. Two weeks ago it was Ohio-area prep safety Solomon Warfield leaving Iowa City; now it's Detroit prep defensive back Jalen Embry who's departing. Holy deja vu.

As we said when Warfield left, this move isn't entirely surprising -- Embry was nowhere to be found on the most recent depth charts for the defensive backfield and there probably wasn't a lot of immediate playing time in the offing at cornerback when three of the four guys listed on that aforementioned depth chart are juniors (Desmond King, Greg Mabin, and Maurice Fleming).
