USA Today has announced that the Hawkeye Wave during Iowa football games has received the 2024 Reader's Choice award for Best College Sports Tradition.
At one point, there were over 1,000 players in the portal, and Iowa's state schools were no exception. Currently, 19 players from Iowa, ISU, and UNI remain in the portal.
After a rough stretch with players leaving via the transfer portal, the Iowa Hawkeyes get a much-needed win with the return of their most experienced receiver.
A month ago, rumors swirled that the biggest commit in Iowa history would be signing elsewhere. Just before national signing day, they're back, this time with a different school.
After the news that Spencer Petras wouldn't be available and with all the transfers, some thought Iowa had no shot against Kentucky. Now, they definitely have a chance.
In addition to the group of players from the Iowa offense that have already decided to leave, two members of the Hawkeye defense are on their way out, too.
