Just over a week ago, we made a list of five graduate transfers that would make the most sense for the Iowa football team. This list included two defensive lineman that we thought might make sense for the Hawks to pursue.
Given the lack of depth on the defensive line (all four starters leaving for the NFL, Daviyon Nixon exploring the transfer portal, and Tyler Linderbaum shifting over to the offensive line), the Hawkeyes needed to make a move that would benefit the team immediately.
Although the move Iowa ultimately made wasn’t one we expected, it’s huge nonetheless.
