Iowa City, Iowa – Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says players leaving in the middle of the season will become the norm. Running back LeShon Williams and receiver Kaleb Brown both announced they will redshirt and enter the transfer portal. The Hawkeyes are 3-2 heading intio Saturday’s game at home against Washington.
Ferentz says he wishes both players well.
Brown was in his second season with the Hawkeyes after leaving Ohio State. Williams led the Hawkeyes last season with 821 yards of rushing, but has struggled with injuries since last spring.
Both Williams and Brown played sparingly this season.
