Jameer Outsey has decided to transfer from the Iowa football team. He was about to enter his sophomore year.

He spent time working with the defense during his redshirt freshman season, but he switched to tight end last season and even sniffed the field at the position during stints in eight different games.

Outsey was listed as the backup tight end in the initial spring depth chart, but he was hard to find during the team’s open practices. Peter Pekar and Jon Wisnieski both looked as though they will fill in fine under George Kittle this season, perhaps clogging up the position.

Regardless, things weren’t going the way Outsey wanted, and he figured it would be a better decision to move on from the program.

Outsey’s departure shouldn’t have much of an effect on the season if everyone stays healthy. That is, however, a huge “if” and when it comes to football, losing depth is never a good thing.
