The Iowa Football program continues to add talent from the transfer portal after the window closed on January 16.
While the deadline for players to enter their names in the portal has passed, players who entered before the midnight deadline on January 16 can sign wherever and whenever they want.
Iowa has earned 14 commitments from transfer players, including punter Tanner Philpott, who recently committed to the program last weekend.
With the Iowa program sitting at 14 players in and eight players out, it is not done adding talent through transfers, signing a defensive back with four years of remaining eligibility after a recent visit.

Haddad was originally ranked as a three-star prospect coming out of Saint Ignatius High School in Cleveland, Ohio, and he initially committed to Wisconsin before flipping to Ohio State.
During his initial recruitment process, 247Sports' Allen Trieu reported that Haddad is a versatile player who can play all over the field, but is best suited to play safety at the college level.
He has great ball skills, and tremendous speed that comes from his background in track and field.
Trieu also mentioned that Haddad is a physical player who can play in the box and help stop the run, but is athletic and fast enough to cover receivers on the outside.
His signing is purely based on projections, but he has plenty of time to develop and grow in Phil Parker's system.
