In a move that keeps her talents in her home state, former Iowa Hawkeyes guard Callie Levin has announced she is transferring to the University of Northern Iowa. The Solon, Iowa native will join the Panthers with two years of eligibility remaining, seeking a larger on-court role.

Levin entered the transfer portal shortly after the season concluded, and her decision, announced on social media, was met with excitement from UNI fans. "I’m staying home… again!!!" Levin posted, highlighting her desire to play in front of a home-state crowd.

During her two seasons with the Hawkeyes, the 5-foot-9 guard served primarily as a depth piece and energy player off the bench. She appeared in 19 games last season, averaging 1.2 points in 5.9 minutes per contest. Her role expanded during stretches when Iowa's backcourt dealt with injuries, showcasing her readiness in spots.

Known for her vocal support and team-first attitude on the Iowa bench, Levin now looks to translate that energy into more consistent minutes in Cedar Falls. For UNI, adding a player with Big Ten experience and two years of eligibility is a significant boost as they look to build their roster in the competitive Missouri Valley Conference.

This transfer underscores the dynamic nature of college basketball rosters and the pursuit of the right fit for both player and program. Levin’s next chapter begins closer to home, where she will aim to make a major impact for the Panthers.
