Former four-star offensive lineman Ezra Miller on Wednesday announced he will be transferring from Iowa to Nebraska.
The former Ridge View High School star from Holstein decided to leave the Iowa program in January. At the time, the 6-foot-6, 310 pound Miller said his decision was because of a back injury that he claimed would force him to retire from football. In May, Miller announced that he was suffering from depression.
Miller will walk-on to the Nebraska program. He will need to sit out the 2020 season unless he can get a waiver from the NCAA to be eligible immediately.
Ben McGilmer of the University of Iowa Men’s Basketball “Six Pack” has passed away at the age of 74. McGilmer and his teammates won the 1970 Big Ten Championship, winning all 14 Big Ten games.
McGilmer’s academic and athletic career came to an abrupt halt when, after his sophomore year, he was drafted into the U.S. Army. During his military service, he played on the undefeated All Army Basketball team.
After completing his tour with the U. S. Army, McGilmer returned to Iowa City, playing on one of the greatest teams in Iowa basketball history. As a senior, McGilmer averaged 10.3 points per contest on Coach Ralph Miller’s 1970 squad that won 17 of its last 18 games and going undefeated in conference play. That magical team remains the highest scoring team in Big Ten history, averaging a staggering 102.9 points per game in league play. The Hawkeyes topped the century mark 14 times and averaged 98.7 points per game over the course of 25 games.
In addition to averaging 10.3 points per game as a senior, he averaged 13.5 points in 1969 and 10.8 points as a sophomore in 1966.
