The Iowa Hawkeyes have another transfer portal target on their board.
According to 247Sports’ Chris Hummer, Iowa will welcome in former Northern Illinois wide receiver Cam Thompson for a visit on Jan. 9-10.
Thompson entered the NCAA transfer portal on Dec. 28 following Northern Illinois’ 28-20 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl victory over Fresno State.
The 6-foot, 198 pound wide receiver just completed his sophomore season where he caught 28 passes for 391 yards and three touchdowns. Thompson’s most productive game of 2024 came against Ball State on Oct. 26 when he tallied eight grabs for 128 yards, including his 54-yard touchdown reception.

Thompson’s 391 receiving yards trailed only Trayvon Rudolph’s 37 receptions for 392 yards for the most on the Huskies roster.
According to Hummer, Thompson will visit Mississippi State on Jan. 5-6 and West Virginia on Jan. 7-8.
Iowa has been looking to add an experienced receiver with Division I production to complement what it has coming back for the 2025 season.
The Hawkeyes are set to return wide receivers Jacob Gill, Seth Anderson, Reece Vander Zee, Kaden Wetjen, Jarriett Buie, Dayton Howard, Terrell Washington Jr., KJ Parker and added Terrence Smith in their 2025 signing class.
In this transfer portal cycle, Iowa has added former Auburn quarterback Hank Brown and former Central Michigan defensive lineman Jonah Pace entering the 2025 college football season.
