**2026 Iowa Football Offseason and Transfer Portal Thread**

[RiotFan]

Jaz ran as hard as anyone we’ve seen in a long time, unfortunately it was usually right at players (on his own team and not) rather than getting around them.

This. I hated watching him get the ball

I listened to the postgame radio show and they interviewed Moulton. He seemed very committed and all in for 2026.

Not that it’s impossible that he leaves but it seems like Iowa means a little something more to him.

 

[The Full Monte]

I've never seen a guy on the verge of breaking more huge runs cut down by a shoelace. I think the only one he ever got was at Iowa State as a freshman.

Part of what I loved…and hated about him; he was 127% all go on every single snap.

part of that feels like a poor transition to the college game where you simply aren’t the biggest/strongest/most athletic guy on the field.

But dude had guts.

 

[BluesHawk]

He reminded me of Hawkeye basketball legend, JoeT is the

Just needed to find a little control, and could have been so much better.

But easy to thank them for their service and sincerely wish them well.

Iowa going after all (at least publicly for now) small school player that were overlooked and likely have a chip on their shoulder and have a history of outworking everyone. No targets (yet) from Power 4 schools.

I’d guess Iowa learned a lot from bringing Cade and Gronowski in as hired guns. It goes against everything Iowa is culture wise, but it’s the reality of the sport. Basically if you’re going to pay up, you better be 100% sure the guy is a culture fit. Iowa really should go out and spend big on a couple of guys this year, but you can’t have the guys making the most money being locker room cancers, complaining about a lack of targets, sitting out for minor injuries, etc.

are there still scholarship limits? Is 85 a number that matters? And how many open spots does Iowa have?

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Isn't it a max 105 total, and it can be all scholarship up to that level if the team chooses

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Someone needs to get on this, so we can know the rules that everyone will ignore

I think several - most? - of them have two or three years’ eligibility, too. Most of the 1-year guys don’t have the time to get the trust of the coaches, so I think they’ve been focusing on guys who have time to come in and learn the culture and whatnot.

Pretty sure the NCAA kicked that can down the road.

 

[Iowatheltics]

• Old System: A hard cap of 85 full scholarships for Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) teams.
• New System (Effective 2025-26):
  • Roster Cap: FBS teams now have a maximum roster limit of 105 players.
  • Scholarship Flexibility: Coaches can award scholarships (full or partial) to any player on the roster, up to the roster limit, rather than just 85 full rides

Thanks Beth!

 

[Cheer 4 the Hawks!]

The 2025 schedule was released on December 11 2024. Any idea of when we might actually find out 2026 dates?

I think they just had to do something to accommodate walkons in existence at the time of the settlement

Warren is on his make $150k doing next to nothing tour.

 

[cloudhawk]

Well he brought the slow mesh to IOWA

Been wondering this myself. My guess is the week following the NC

For 3 plays.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

It'll never happen but Hughes the RB from Oregon is back in the portal. He would be a stud and day 1 starter.

 

[Shawneemicks]

Warren is on his make $150k doing next to nothing tour.

I actually think he was a big help to Tim

 

[BBK]

Looks a little like Loog

 

[Lil Scamp]

I don't look like that at all

 

[maxinquaye]

He brought Heck, hopefully he stays or we need a portal qb.

31% of all division 1 football players are in the portal. Just so dumb.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

They should just make the entire airplane out of the portal.

 

[Revolver]

They got to see a great atmosphere at Carver yesterday. Thanks, Ben!

[UnKnOwN_SeRb]

Not sure if I should be happy or mad.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Iowa State's QB will be better than anything we trot out from the current group.

 

[Greg Obrecht]

3 of those teams can fuck off. So Iowa is 11th in my book.

 

[Mitchandrsn]

DE is probably Chimeke. People are saying Buie at WR.

At TE considering Superstar and Meyer are already top two and still So/RS Fr next year, anyone else is a legitimate candidate and expendable. Some rumblings we might go after Burkle.

 

[Gushawk]

Was hoping one or more of the Carver visitors would have committed by now.

Similar size to a younger Nwankpa, a little taller.

Lengthy.
