Iowa lands Ferris State lineman Bryce George on portal
Iowa football strengthens its offensive line with transfer Bryce George, a 6-5 314-pound tackle from Ferris State, who played 41 games and earned Division II All-American honors. He has one year of eligibility left and could slot into left tackle as Iowa builds depth behind starters Logan Jones, Beau Stephens, and Gennings Dunker. The move comes as Iowa eyes continuity with spring depth chart names like Jack Dotzler and Trevor Lauck competing for the position.
