Previously medically retired Iowa TE heading for transfer portal, per report
Published:
A report from 247Sports’ David Eickholt came out on Friday. An Iowa TE is hitting the transfer portal after retiring from football for medical reasons in March.
Elijah Yelverton is reportedly heading to the transfer portal. Yelverton left the program in earlier this spring, but it looks like he may be giving football another chance.
Yelverton was a former 3-star recruit from the 2020 class per the 247Sports Composite. He was the No. 21 TE and 69th-rated player from his home state of Texas in his class. Arizona State, Arkansas, Auburn, and Boston College were interested in him.

Michigan, Nebraska, Michigan State, Penn State, Rutgers, and Purdue were interested in him as well.
After battling some injuries throughout his career Yelverton is now in the transfer portal.
Yelverton did not catch a single pass during his time at Iowa. It’ll be interesting to where the Texas native ends up next.
