Former Drake guard Kael Combs has informed Hawkeye Beacon that he has committed to Iowa out of the transfer portal.
At 6'4", 190 pounds, Combs averaged 3.8 points and two rebounds over 12.8 minutes per game while shooting 51% from the field this season for the Bulldogs.
With 58 career games played between Drake and Wyoming, Combs will arrive in Iowa City with solid experience at the college level. During his lone year in Laramie, Combs averaged 2.7 points and a rebound in 10.5 minutes per game.
After two years playing college ball, Combs will have two years of eligibility remaining.
A product of Nixa, Missouri, Combs earned Missouri Class 6 all-state honors and named COC Player of Year as senior. Over that timespan, he put up 23.4 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists, while shooting 44% from three.
In addition to basketball offers from Wyoming and Abilene Christian, Combs was recruited to play wide receiver at the Group of 5 and FCS levels for football. In fact, he even received an offer from Tim Lester during his days at Western Michigan. Other football offers included Toledo, Southern Miss, Eastern Michigan and Missouri State.
Combs is the second transfer commit to choose Iowa, following Drake teammate and fellow guard, Bennett Stirtz.
