Kyle Meyer was granted a release from his scholarship and will transfer, Iowa head coach Fran McCaffery announced in a statement issued by the UI on Tuesday.
Meyer redshirted in 2012-13 and was part of a five-player class that also included former guard Pat Ingram, who transferred following last season. As a redshirt freshman, Meyer played in 12 games and was used sparingly.
“Kyle and I had a healthy discussion at the conclusion of the season,” McCaffery said in the statement. “Ultimately he has decided to pursue more playing time and a larger role at another institution. Kyle has great work ethic and tremendous character, and will be a valuable teammate wherever he decides to go.
“We appreciate his hard work and positive attitude the last two years. Kyle has a bright future and we will assist him any way we can.”
In addition to Meyer’s departure, which now leaves an additional scholarship open for Iowa, the Hawkeyes also lose junior Darius Stokes, who was given a one-year scholarship last season after serving as a walk-on for three years. Stokes went through Senior Night festivities alongside Devyn Marble, Melsahn Basabe and Zach McCabe.
