IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa running back Leshon Williams and receiver Kaleb Brown have left the team and plan to enter the transfer portal in December, coach Kirk Ferentz said Monday.
Both players had diminished roles this season and appeared in only three of five games.
Williams started eight games and ran for a team-leading 821 yards on 170 carries in 2023. He went over 100 yards in three games, with a career-high 174 against Wisconsin. He finished his Iowa career with 1,323 yards rushing in 32 games and has one season of eligibility remaining.
Brown was at Ohio State for his freshman season and joined the Hawkeyes last year, when he started four of his 11 games and had 22 catches for 215 yards and a touchdown. He has two seasons of eligibility remaining.

OTHER MSU SPORTS MSU men's tennis, Coach Harry Jadun reaping benefits of great recruiting

Recruiting is the name of the game in any college sport. Sure, there are other factors to having a successful program, but if a team doesn’t have the talent to be competitive, it is at a major disadvantage.
Michigan State men’s tennis is a perfect example of that. The Spartans are reaping the benefits of stacking impressive recruiting classes on top of one another.
It’s not just junior Ozan Baris, who is the No. 1 singles player in college tennis. Redshirt sophomore Aristotelis Thanos has also made his presence known in the college tennis scene. He is ranked at No. 72 in singles.
True freshman Matt Forbes was considered as a blue-chip prospect and is in the fold now as well. Forbes just played in the U.S. Open main draw last month, becoming the first Spartan to ever do so.
The recent infusion of talent under head coach Harry Jadun has added a competitive edge in practice between teammates.
Baris is the top player for Michigan State. Typically, his teammates are competitive with him in practice matches, but Baris usually wins.
When Forbes was playing Baris in preparation for the U.S. Open, Forbes was taking it to Baris. Baris needed a break and he was having a conversation with assistant coach Mike Flowers on the bench.
"'What do you need, a TED talk right now?'" Forbes asked. "'Let’s play tennis.'"
The competitiveness between the top players for the Spartans makes the team even better.
