Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz hit the transfer portal hard and several newcomers are in the two-deep as the Hawkeyes open spring drills. Michigan transfer Cade McNamara is listed as the starting quarterback though he will be limited this spring after undergoing knee surgery.

Ferentz says McNamara is taking part in seven-on-seven drills and is still a couple of months from being full strength.

McNamara led Michigan to a win over Iowa in the Big Ten Championship game in 2022 and quickly took on a leadership role with the Hawkeyes.

Another Michigan transfer in tight end Erick All practiced on Wednesday. He missed the second half of last season with a back injury.
