Iowa transfer portal tracker: All players who entered the portal after the 2024 football regular season
Four wins in the final five games allowed the Iowa Hawkeyes to finish the season with an 8-4 record. Kirk Ferentz’s squad also earned a trip to the Music City Bowl, where they will face the Missouri Tigers.
The Hawkeyes will once again look to address the offense. Iowa finished the season ranked 113th in total offense with 331.5 yards per game. They got a fast start in the transfer portal, as the Hawkeyes landed former Auburn quarterback Hank Brown. The former Tigers quarterback passed for 403 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions in 2024.
But there will also be Hawkeyes looking to leave the program this offseason. Here is the outlook for Iowa in the transfer portal.

McNamara also spent three seasons with the Michigan Wolverines. He has passed for 4,703 yards, 31 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions in his 5-year career.
Grant Leeper, Tight End
After seeing action in only one game this season, Grant Leeper looks ready to move on. The freshman did not register any stats in the game.
Graham Friedrichsen, Wide Receiver
Sophomore Graham Friedrichsen looks set to leave Iowa without playing a single snap in two seasons. After redshirting in 2022, he once again did not see any game action during this past season.
Leshon Williams, Running Back
After four seasons in Des Moines, Leshon Williams entered the transfer portal and is expected to join the Kansas Jayhawks. The senior ran for 821 yards in 2023 but saw his playing time decrease in 2024 as Kaleb Johnson took the starting job.
Williams finished last season with 21 rushing yards on 11 carries. He had committed to Memphis earlier but has flipped over to Kansas since.
Caden Crawford, Defensive Lineman
After three years in Iowa, Caden Crawford is planning to explore his options. The sophomore played in two games in 2024, registering two tackles and recovering one fumble. He has two years of eligibility left after he redshirted in 2022.
Judah Mallette, Wide Receiver
After redshirting in 2023, freshman Judah Malletete finally saw action in 2024. However, he did not register any stats in Iowa's win over Northwestern and could now depart Des Moines.
Marco Lainez III, Quarterback
Marco Lainez did not see any action in 2024. The quarterback finished the 2023 season going 2-for-7 for four yards in limited action.
James Resar, Quarterback
After not playing a down in 2024, freshman James Resar has decided to enter the transfer portal.
Jeff Bowie, Defensive Lineman
Jeff Bowie waited three years to get his first taste of game action with the Hawkeyes this season, and it could possibly be his last after he entered the portal. He had redshirted in 2021 and did not see action in the two subsequent seasons.
Kaleb Brown, Wide Receiver
Junior Kaleb Brown is back in the transfer portal. He previously played at Ohio State before transferring in 2023.
Brown had one reception for 18 yards in 2024 after recording 22 catches for 215 yards and one touchdown in 2023.
Tripp Woody, Kicker
Freshman kicker Tripp Woody entered the transfer portal and committed to the Syracuse Orange. He did not rack up any stats in his season at Iowa.
