IOWA CITY, Iowa – Iowa junior running back Jazz Patterson and sophomore punter Rhys Dakin both announced on Friday that they will enter the transfer portal.

Patterson had three carries for a minus-3 yards in the bowl game, while Dakin punted three times for a 49.0 average.

Meanwhile, 247sports is reporting that Iowa defensive end Brian Allen plans to enter the portal. Allen recorded 16 tackles and 0.5 sacks this season while playing as a reserve defensive end.

Allen has played in 28 games as a Hawkeye and recorded 34 tackles, five tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks in three seasons.

He also has one season of eligibility.
