Iowa football has not typically been very active in the transfer portal but seems to have made an exception this offseason. Before the portal closed in February, the Hawkeyes had already snagged seven potential impact players for both 2023 and beyond, including six players to help jumpstart the Hawkeyes’ moribund offense. While many of Iowa’s larger schematic and coaching problems still remain on the offensive side of ball, there was some hope among Hawkeye fans that Iowa’s portal haul might help improve an offense that was historically bad last season.
Now that the transfer portal has opened again, however, it appears that Iowa may need to act to address one significant area of concern from last year’s offense which appears entirely unresolved this spring: wide receiver.
