With the spring semester at the University of Iowa about to get underway and the recruiting class of 2020 essentially full, we’ve entered that time of year when just about any news coming out of the Iowa football program isn’t great news. True, the announcements former Hawkeyes Geno Stone, A.J. Epenesa, Tristan Wirfs and Toren Young plan to enter the NFL Draft isn’t exactly bad news, it does leave openings for the Hawkeyes entering 2020.
But by and large any Iowa football news item this time of year is likely to be of the departure for non-NFL reasons variety.
