The annual mid-August exodus of players who see their positioning on the depth chart continues, with Iowa the latest to see attrition hit its roster.
Kirk Ferentz announced Tuesday that Jalen Embry has decided to transfer from his football program and continue his collegiate playing career elsewhere. Specifically, the defensive back will move on to an unspecified JUCO program.
“Jalen Embry has decided to leave the football team,” the long-time head coach said in a statement. “Jalen has elected to continue his academic and football career at a junior college and leaves Iowa in good standing; both academically and through his citizenship. Our staff and Jalen’s teammates wish him the best.”
Embry was a three-star member of the Hawkeyes’ 2014 recruiting class who took a redshirt as a true freshman.
