Iowa awards Ash with scholarship

Austin Ash

IOWA CITY — University of Iowa men’s basketball coach Fran McCaffery announced on Friday that redshirt senior Austin Ash will return to the Hawkeye roster in 2021-22 and will be put on scholarship.

“Austin earned this scholarship,” said McCaffery. “Austin is experienced and has been a valuable teammate on and off the floor. He knows our system and doesn’t make mistakes. We are excited to have Austin return for his fifth season.”

The 6-foot-3 guard from Mount Vernon has been an integral piece of the scout team the past four seasons. Ash saw action in nine games last season.

“It was a dream come true to get a scholarship to come back and play for the Hawkeyes,” Ash said. “This is something that has been a goal of mine since I stepped foot on campus as a freshman. It means so much to me and my family. I am excited to get to work.”
