Just before the spring transfer portal window closed, there’s another name to add on the outgoing list for the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Iowa defensive back AJ Lawson announced that he is entering the transfer portal. Lawson did not see any game action over the course of his four seasons in Iowa City.
“First, I’d like to express how thankful I am for every teammate, coach, trainer, and University of Iowa athletics personnel staff member that has helped me grow over the past four years.
“After talking with family and friends, I have decided to enter the transfer portal with two years of eligibility. I am excited for the future and open to all opportunities,” Lawson wrote on X.
