Iowa getting a hell of a player.
This is big news for Iowa.  Iowa's offense was a national punch line last year.  To get a former 4* WR really can turn the whole narrative around. 

I mean this was the Iowa offense where WR Charlie Jones only had 21 catches in 3 years, so Jones had to transfer to Purdue just so he could prove he should be drafted in NFL, which he was. Jones got drafted by the Bengals in the 4th round after an first team all big ten senior season at Purdue.

The perception everybody had was that no decent WR would ever want to come and play at Iowa.  It's where WR's go for their careers to die.  It makes you wonder what Kaleb Brown is thinking,  or actually,  what Iowa had to give up to get him.

I actually think it is a smart move. The kid can play.

He is just behind some amazing WRs who are all NFL caliber.  He had an excellent spring since most of the first stringers did not participate.

Iowa Now has cade McNamara as a quarterback, and he’s pretty damn accurate. Why not go somewhere where you know you will be a starting receiver and probably gonna be the go to outside guy, and show what you can do versus ride the bench for another year or maybe even two years.

Kaleb Brown to Iowa was shocking to me. How many players willingly kill their own careers before they even begin?

former OSU WR Caleb Burton to Auburn. Sounds like former MSU WR Keon Coleman is visting or has visited Auburn as well and they are a top contender for him. 

Former MSU QB Peyton Thorne has already transferred to Auburn.

former Sparty WR Keon Coleman to Florida State. Jordan Travis has a nice toy to throw the ball to. That's a big time pick up for FSU. Could definitely see him blow up in that situation and play himself into the 1st or 2nd rd.

Utah transfer Tyler Knaak, an offensive tackle with four years of remaining eligibility, announces his commitment to Nebraska.

He redshirted during the 2022 season and will have four years of eligibility left at Nebraska.

Knaak is the 12th transfer addition for the Huskers this offseason and the third offensive line addition out of the portal as he joins center Ben Scott (Arizona State) and offensive tackle Jacob Hood (Georgia).

This is from Rivals. I like it.

UTSA is a very successful program, having won back-to-back conference championships. That success comes at a cost. Assistant coaches are getting poached left and right from coach Jeff Traylor’s program. Two years ago the team lost its offensive and defensive coordinators. Last offseason the co-offensive coordinators bolted.

Today’s college football world is different. It’s become more common for players of these programs to get poached by teams in the Power Five. Traylor explained his strategy for dealing with this at the Texas High School Coaches Association convention on Monday.
"I'm not just going to roll over and let them have my kids," Traylor said. "I'm going to say, 'Hey Sam, my kid came in here and screen-shotted you hitting him up. He's on my roster right now. What are you doing, Sam?' '"
This approach helped him keep seven of the eight players that were allegedly being poached by other schools. The one player that the team lost was wide receiver Zahkari Franklin. He transferred to Ole Miss after racking up 94 catches for 1,136 yards and 15 scores.

If more lower-tier coaches are this transparent and start naming names of coaches stealing players we might get some reform in the college football transfer rules. Good for Traylor for protecting what he’s built at UTSA.
