  1. John Chelf made the right decision. Heading into his final year of Division I football this fall at North Texas, the City High graduate initially enrolled at Iowa as a walk-on.

Iowa transfer wide receiver John Chelf will be eligible this year and will play against LSU. Chelf spent two seasons with the Hawkeyes before recently transferring to UNT.
