Iowa women's basketball forward Teagan Mallegni has entered the transfer portal after two seasons with the Hawkeyes. Mallegni, a former four-star recruit, chose Iowa over several other top programs in 2024 but has now decided to pursue other opportunities.
Why it matters
Mallegni's decision to enter the transfer portal is part of a larger trend in college basketball, as student-athletes increasingly seek out new programs that may better fit their athletic and academic goals. Her departure is a setback for the Hawkeyes, who will need to replace her production and find ways to rebuild their frontcourt depth.
The details
In two seasons at Iowa, Mallegni appeared in 45 games, averaging 2.6 points, 1.8 rebounds and 7.7 minutes per game. She had her best performances early in her freshman year, scoring 14 points against Northern Illinois and 13 against Drake. However, injuries limited her playing time this past season, as she appeared in just 15 games.
- Mallegni entered the transfer portal on Monday, April 6, 2026, when the portal opened at midnight.
