Aaliyah Guyton ready to do whatever Iowa women’s basketball needs after success vs. Northwestern
Iowa women’s basketball freshman Aaliyah Guyton has entered the transfer portal, a source with direct knowledge of the situation confirmed to the Register on Monday.
A top-100 prospect in the 2024 class, Guyton finished the year appearing in 29 games with one start — while averaging 16.4 minutes and 4.7 points per game.
Much like Iowa’s season as a team, Guyton’s freshman campaign was a seesawing one. She entered coming off a torn ACL suffered during her senior season at Peoria High School. However, once Guyton jumped into action on Nov. 24 against Washington State, it didn’t take long before she was a main piece in Jan Jensen’s rotation.
Guyton had 11 points in 24 minutes with Lucy Olsen out to propel Iowa past BYU in the Cancun Challenge. Nine points in 20 minutes arrived against Purdue early in Big Ten play. Guyton made her lone start of the year on Jan. 9 at Illinois and was lauded as a key voice during Iowa’s five-game losing streak. Fourteen points in 26 minutes against Nebraska — then 15 in 31 minutes versus Northwestern three games later — emphasized that value.
Even when Olsen fully found her footing as Iowa’s most reliable offensive option during the back half of Big Ten play, Guyton’s playing time didn’t fall off the map. She remained a key on-ball defender that Jensen regularly deployed early off the bench. But Guyton’s offensive contributions soon took a hard nosedive.
The freshman shot just 25% from the field (14-for-57) and 22% from deep (7-for-32) over Iowa’s final 13 games. Guyton piled up 24 turnovers in that same stretch.
Assuming Guyton doesn’t eventually remove her name from the portal, Iowa now has three open scholarships to work with for next season. The Hawkeyes had 14 of the maximum 15 in use this year and will gain another with three coming in (Addie Deal, Journey Houston, Layla Hays) and four going out (Lucy Olsen, Sydney Affolter, Addison O’Grady, A.J. Ediger).
Jensen talked repeatedly after Iowa’s season-ending loss at Oklahoma about how the Hawkeyes will be a player in the portal this offseason. This move allows for more potential activity.

DES Moines, Iowa — Gov. Kim Reynolds has ordered all flags in Iowa to be lowered to half-staff Saturday in honor of state Sen. Julian Garrett, who died June 8 at the age of 85.
Flags will be flown at half-staff from sunrise to sunset June 20, the day of Garrett’s funeral, on the Iowa Capitol Building and across the Capitol Complex. The order also applies to all public buildings, grounds and facilities throughout the state.
Garrett served 16 years in the Iowa Legislature, first representing House District 55 from 2011 to 2013 before serving in the Iowa Senate through the 2026 legislative session.
In addition to his legislative service, Garrett was a farmer, attorney and former employee of the Iowa Attorney General’s Office.
“Sen. Garrett was a friend who served our state with integrity — whether as a cattle producer, a Little League coach, an attorney in the executive branch, or a legislator,” Reynolds said in a statement. “For 15 years, we worked together to unleash opportunities for the Iowans we served, and his impact will be felt for generations to come.”
Reynolds is encouraging individuals, businesses, schools, municipalities, counties and other government entities to lower their flags to half-staff during the same time period as a sign of respect.
Garrett represented southwest Iowa in the Legislature and was known for his work on judiciary and agriculture-related issues during his tenure at the Statehouse.

Anderson was listed as the driver of a 2019 Chevrolet Blazer.
