Iowa football: Hawks get major win in Oliver Martin eligibility ruling

It’s been a long, drawn-out saga from the time former four-star recruit and Iowa City native Oliver Martin decided to enter the transfer portal until today when he was officially ruled eligible to play immediately for the Iowa football team in 2019.

For the past month, we have been looking into any little hint or sign that could point us in the right direction for which way this ruling was going to go.

It’s nice to take a deep breath and relax because Oliver Martin is officially eligible!

The news was reported first by Chad Leistikow, and he did a great write-up of how everything came together here.
