Rhys Dakin transferring to Mich St
- Thread starter QChawks
- Start date
I would suspect
Just out of nowhere like that. I wonder why? 
I'd bet a lot of money he's going to msu to follow coach Woods.
Fitz might try to get our goat again dang it
Just saw that SHEEEET! WTF? This makes no sense at all
While I wish he would stay, Rhys was an overall disappointment. He was young, but the hype that Coach Woods tried to generate around him would make you think he was the next Tory Taylor. I've got faith we'll find someone just as good.
He’s ranked 90th in punting average
His coordinator, who recruited him, is leaving. What doesnt make sense? Players often commit to a coach/staff, not always the school or location. See ISU right now for reference.

Rhys Dakin is a top-ranked college football punter for the Iowa Hawkeyes, considered among the nation's elite, earning Freshman All-American honors in 2024 and projected for top awards like the Ray Guy Award heading into 2025. He ranks highly internationally (e.g., #1 on ProKicker.com with a 59.00 best distance), boasts strong stats (averaging ~44 yards with great placement), and is highly rated in video games like EA Sports College Football 26, showing his significant talent.
Watching the Iowa punter winning in NIL is peak 2026 CFB. 
I thought international players couldn't have NIL deals? Or has that loophole been closed?
AI slop? He's not even showing here

He knows we won't be punting much next year with Hecklinski under center.
guy is good and very athletic.
nowhere near tory but wish he would’ve stayed
nowhere near tory but wish he would’ve stayed
Only Iowa fans would care this much about a mid punter entering the portal.
It’s more about a coach leaving and taking guys. However I think this same coach wants the job when KF retires. Stepping stone job.
I agree. Nothing against him but it’s not worth the worry.
Can want the job all he wants if he’s inlay special teams with no coordinator or HC experience then He’s not qualified
I realize this but I think he will be assistant head coach over there….that is some experience
If a punter wants to showcase his ability, iowa is likely the place you want to be. You know you're getting plenty of punts each game. So him leaving likely has to do with NIL. Get paid now then enjoy the 9-5 job in a couple years.
lol. Getting fitz coffee is not something that counts as HC or coordinator experience.
Lifelong Special Teams coach and SB Champ John Harbaugh would like a word.
lol yea lets replace KF with Levar. I’ve been hearing this for years What’s the rationale here ? It’s not merit
Lester is the only Coach currently on Staff with real HC experience and is My pick to take over for Kirk , Any Guy who can fix the Iowa offense can get Iowa into the Playoffs and Players love Him, He will be a great recruiter in Recruits living rooms selling the Program and doing the Presser , Donor stuff.
I would take Lavar woods, demo odems, Caitlin Clark, Dwight, bj armstrong. Anybody with hawk experience
Not saying we have to either but he's qualified. Hiring a coordinator for HC is nice and all but it's not the only way it has to be done.
No he’s really not qualified for the Iowa job. After success as a coordinator or preferably g5 HC experience he would be plausible. A st guy to take over for KF is ridiculous
