Go Iowa Awesome – Basketball Walk-On Amarion Nimmers to Enter Transfer Portal
As he announced on Twitter Thursday afternoon, Iowa walk-on guard Amarion Nimmers plans to enter the transfer portal. His name has been removed from the Iowa basketball roster.
“Thank you, University of Iowa for giving me the opportunity to play here and believing in me,” he said in the statement he released on Twitter. “With that being said, I will be putting my name in the portal to weigh my options with immediate eligibility at any level. I will always be a Hawkeye.”
The 6’2″, 173-pound redshirt-freshman made the decision after spending just one season in Iowa City, where he red-shirted. A product of Rock Island, Illinois, Nimmers joined the program after averaging 23.9 points per game as a senior.
He received just one scholarship offer out of high school, coming from Eastern Illinois. He was also looked at by programs like Northern Iowa, Creighton, Iowa State, Marquette, Illinois and others.
