As the Iowa basketball roster exodus continues, junior forward Riley Mulvey joined the list of those entering the NCAA transfer portal. The 6-foot-11, 245-pound forward announced his decision on Tuesday.

“These past four years at the University of Iowa have been nothing short of life-changing. When I first stepped onto campus, I could have never imagined the journey that would happen. Through every challenge, every setback, and every time we succeeded through them, I’ve grown not just as a basketball player, but as a person…

“To the fans, every time I stepped on the court you supported me. I loved all of the cheers and passion you guys showed us in Carver. It’s been an honor to play in front of you all. After I complete my degree at the University of Iowa, I have decided to enter the transfer portal as a grad student, but I will always be a Hawkeye at heart,” Mulvey wrote in his announcement.

The Rotterdam, New York, native was originally in the 2022 recruiting class but reclassified to the 2021 class, which allowed him to join the program before the 2021-22 campaign. Mulvey appeared in 17 games that season, including Iowa’s 75-66 victory over Purdue in the 2022 Big Ten Tournament championship game.

Mulvey saw action in 12 games during the 2022-23 campaign and took a redshirt during the 2023-24 season.

This past season, Mulvey averaged 2.2 points and 1.9 rebounds per game on 57.9% shooting and 68.2% free-throw accuracy. Mulvey’s season was highlighted by a nine-point outing against Washington on Feb. 22.

Mulvey will have one year of eligibility remaining as a graduate transfer wherever he chooses to play next season.
