Two Iowa football players transferring to schools closer to home
Iowa defensive back David Cato and running back Josh Brown have decided to transfer.
The Hawkeyes say in a statement released Wednesday that both players will seek schools closer to home.
Cato, a sophomore from Arlington, Texas, played in 12 games last season and made six tackles.
Brown, a 5-foot-11, 200-pound freshman from St. Petersburg, Fla., didn't have a carry in 2009.
Iowa, which finished 11-2 and ranked No. 7 in the final Top 25 poll, return a number of young players at both running back and in the defensive backfield.
