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.
