Transfer portal WR target predicted to land with Iowa football

On the heels of the Mark Gronowski news, Iowa football is projected to land a transfer portal WR.

The Iowa Hawkeyes may not be done adding via the NCAA transfer portal just quite yet.

On the heels of a program-changing move landing Mark Gronowski, one of the top transfer portal quarterbacks coming from South Dakota State where he won two national championships, Iowa could see their offensive firepower grow.

Soon after news broke of Gronowski’s commitment to Iowa, more news has come from On3 predicting Iowa as the landing spot for one of their transfer portal wide receiver targets.

On3’s Pete Nakos has recently logged Iowa as the prediction for the landing spot of Chattanooga transfer wide receiver Sam Phillips.

Sam Phillips, the product of Cartersville High School in Cartersville, Georgia, has spent three seasons with the Chattanooga Mocs.

He has reeled in 153 receptions for 2,088 yards and nine touchdowns in the three years with Chattanooga. Phillips’ 2024 season saw him finish with 49 receptions for 803 yards and three touchdowns.

His best game of the season came against Georgia State where he had 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 a stout Tennessee Volunteers defense.

Coming out of high school, Phillips, who is listed at 5-foot-9 and 185 pounds, has a three-star transfer portal rating after only being offered by Chattanooga out of high school.

Sam Phillips will carry one year of eligibility with him.
