Iowa football and Hawkeyes chief of staff and general manager Tyler Barnes continue to turn over rocks during the spring transfer portal period.
Defensive back Gavin Edwards revealed that he had received an offer from Iowa on Friday. A 6-foot, 180 pound defensive back, Edwards spent 2024 at North Greenville University in South Carolina.
Edwards played in seven games, totaling 29 tackles and six pass breakups during the 2024 NGU season. The St. Stephen, S.C., product helped lead the Trailblazers to a 6-5 (4-3 Gulf South Conference) mark in 2024.

Edwards had transferred to Austin Peay where he spent the spring, but bigger offers have started to roll in since his reentry into the spring transfer portal.
In addition to Iowa, Edwards has picked up offers from schools such as Tulsa, East Carolina, Old Dominion, Ball State, Wake Forest and Maryland.
After lots of prayer, conversations, and careful consideration I have decided to re-enter my name into the NCAA transfer portal with 3 years of eligibility remaining. I appreciate Coach Faris and his staff for all the care and support shown.
