The Chicago native broke up five passes for Iowa last fall.

Seniors Desmond King, a consensus All-American, and Greg Mabin are returning starters at cornerback for the Hawkeyes.

'I feel blessed for my time at Iowa and want to thank coach Kirk Ferentz and coach Phil Parker for their help in making me a better football player and keeping me humble,' Fleming said in an April statement.

West Virginia, an 8-5 team last year, plays at Iowa State in the Cyclones' regular-season finale Nov. 26.
