Iowa football will host one of its top transfer portal targets on Wednesday.

Hawkeye Insider’s Eliot Clough reports that Kent State transfer wide receiver Cade Wolford is flying in on Tuesday and will visit Iowa on Wednesday, per Wolford’s agent.

Wolford reported an offer from Iowa on Sunday evening. The 5-foot-10, 195-pound former All-MAC wideout finished the 2025 season as the FBS leader in yards per catch with 26.8 on a total of 509 yards on 19 receptions with seven touchdowns, to go along with 96 yards and one score on 12 carries on the ground. The Jackson, Ohio, native also returned five kicks for 53 yards in 2025.

Wolford will have three years of eligibility remaining wherever he commits out of the portal.

With Jacob Gill, Sam Phillips, Kaden Wetjen and Seth Anderson all having exhausted their eligiblity, Iowa is looking for new players both in-house and out of the portal to step into playmaking roles on its offense heading into 2026.

With snaps and opportunity to sell, Iowa offensive coordinator Tim Lester and the Hawkeyes should be able to make a strong pitch.

247Sports’ Chris Hummer had previously reported that Wolford would visit Oklahoma State (Jan 5-6), UCF (Jan 7-8), and Cincinnati (Jan 10-11).

The Hawkeyes have already landed commitments from safety Anthony Hawkins, defensive tackle Brice Stevenson and kicker Eli Ozick.
