The Iowa Hawkeyes have added guard depth by securing a commitment from Morehead State transfer Drew Thelwell. Thelwell, a former Morehead State guard, is set to join the Hawkeyes following the departure of seniors Patrick McCaffery and Tony Perkins, as well as sophomore Dasonte Bowen. Thelwell's commitment comes after multiple contacts with guards in the transfer portal and a successful visit to Iowa City. The Orlando native's addition is expected to fill the void left by the departing players and complement returning PG Brock Harding.

By the Numbers
  • Thelwell averaged 10 points and 6.2 assists per game last season
  • He shot 34% from beyond the arc as a senior
  • Thelwell posted a 2.7 assist/turnover ratio, ranking among the top 40 for all players nationally
State of Play
