IOWA CITY – University of Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz announced Tuesday that defensive back Maurice Fleming will transfer from the Hawkeye football program and complete his playing career elsewhere as a graduate transfer. His transfer is approved without restrictions.
“Maurice has shared his desire to spend his fifth and final season as a graduate transfer at another institution,” said Ferentz. “Reese has been a valuable contributor throughout his career at Iowa, and we wish him the best in his final season this fall.”
Fleming, a native of Chicago, played three seasons for the Hawkeyes, playing in 33 total games. He saw action in all 14 games a year ago, recording nine solo tackles and eight assists, along with five pass break-ups. He recorded three tackles as a freshman and eight during his redshirt freshman season.
“I feel blessed for my time at Iowa and want to thank coach Kirk Ferentz and coach Phil Parker for their help in making me a better football player and keeping me humble,” said Fleming. “At this time I am going to explore my options to make the best of my senior year.”
