Iowa CB Brenden Deasfernandes is in the portal
Iowa cornerback Brenden Deasfernandes is in the transfer portal.
The Belleville (Mich.) native has three years of eligibility left. The 6-foot-2, 195-pound Deasfernandes missed time in 2022 due to injury and then came back and played in 13 games in 2023.
“Whether it’s one of the most known schools in the nation, or one that is not as known, the main thing that is important to me right now is finding a school in which the coaches whole heartedly believe I can come in and make an immediate impact on defense,” he told 247Sports.
A three-star prospect out of high school, Deasfernandes was offered by the Hawkeyes after they saw him at the Lindenwood Mega-Camp and then came to perform at their summer camp on campus.
He has heard, early on, from schools like Michigan State and Western Michigan.
