A cornerback has flipped sides of the Floyd of Rosedale rivalry.

John Nestor left the Iowa Hawkeyes to go into the NCAA transfer portal on March 25 and committed to the Gophers on Sunday.

“Committed,” Nestor wrote on social media, sharing a photo of him wearing a maroon No. 7 jersey and pants.

Nestor played in 20 games for the Hawkeyes across 2023-24 seasons. Listed at 5-foot-11 and 196-pounds, he totaled 14 tackles and recovered a muffed punt in a win over Nebraska a year ago.

Pro Football Focus tracked him playing 109 total snaps at wide cornerback and more than 200 on special teams in 2024. He saw the field for more than 140 special teams plays but zero on defense in 2023.

Nestor has two years of eligibility remaining for the U. The Chicago native is the first addition to the Gophers’ roster in the spring transfer portal window.
