The Iowa Hawkeyes may not be done adding via the NCAA transfer portal quite yet.
On the heels of landing Mark Gronowski, one of the top transfer portal quarterbacks, Iowa could see its offensive firepower grow. Gronowski comes from South Dakota State, with which he won two national championships. Soon after news broke of Gronowski’s commitment to Iowa, On3 predicted Iowa would be the landing spot for one of its transfer portal wide receiver targets.
On3’s Pete Nakos logged Iowa as the prediction for Chattanooga transfer wide receiver Sam Phillips.

Phillips, a graduate of Cartersville High School in Cartersville, Georgia, spent three seasons with the Chattanooga Mocs.
He reeled in 153 receptions for 2,088 yards and nine touchdowns in his three years with Chattanooga. In the 2024 season, Phillips finished with 49 receptions for 803 yards and three touchdowns.
His best game of the season came against Georgia State: eight receptions for 195 yards and a touchdown. In his lone contest against a Power Five program, Phillips registered five receptions for 54 yards against the Tennessee Volunteers.
Phillips, who is listed at 5 feet, 9 inches and 185 pounds, has a three-star transfer portal rating after only being offered by Chattanooga out of high school.
Phillips will carry one year of eligibility with him.
