Iowa's search for some much-needed guard help now involves a high-scoring transfer

With only a few days remaining in the transfer portal window, Ben McCollum and the Hawkeyes have been eerily silent.

The 2026 transfer portal window for men's basketball closes on April 21, and even though programs can sign players after that, everyone who wants to enter must submit their name before midnight.

There is by no means a panic surrounding the roster for next season, and McCollum and company are doing their due diligence to find the right players at the right cost. That includes a talented guard from the Campbell Fighting Camels.

Jeremiah Johnson could give Iowa the offensive boost they've been searching for

No one has signed just yet, but it is not for a lack of trying. Iowa has been connected to multiple players throughout the first 10 days of the window.

Iowa has been linked to multiple transfer guards to bolster its backcourt, and now they have been mentioned in connection with a talented guard from the Coastal Athletic Association (CAA).

According to League Ready's high school and college recruiting analyst Sam Kayser, Campbell transfer guard Jeremiah Johnson has been contacted by the Hawkeyes.

Johnson started his career with the Green Bay Phoenix in the Horizon League before transferring to Campbell last season.

Last season for the Fighting Camels, Johnson averaged 15.2 points per game on an efficient 44.9 percent shooting from the field and 37.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Johnson has attracted interest from multiple Power Four teams due to his ability to get to the rim at a high rate and knock down perimeter shots.

Johnson is more suited as an off-ball guard due to his scoring ability, and he would give the Hawkeyes much-needed offense at one of the guard spots.
