Easy come, easy go - it’s the way of college athletics with the transfer portal and immediate eligibility for one time transfers. The Hawkeyes have been both a beneficiary and a victim of the portal this cycle and that’s largely par for the course around the country. To-date, more than 1,500 players have entered the portal with a flurry of activity expected in the coming weeks following the completion of bowl season.
On Tuesday, the Iowa Hawkeyes saw their first departure of the new year as true freshman quarterback Carson May announced his decision to enter the transfer portal.
