On3’s Joe Tipton reported that Iowa joins Ole Miss, Georgia, Villanova, Maryland, Wake Forest, Mississippi State and Texas A&M among the group of schools that have expressed interest.

Givens averaged 4.8 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game during his freshman season at LSU. A product of Montverde Academy, Givens shot just 26.9% from the field and 24.6% from 3-point range in his freshman campaign. Givens was a 59.1% free-throw shooter in his first collegiate season.
The Memphis, Tennessee, native played in 32 games and started 12 at LSU. Givens knocked down four 3-pointers and scored a season-high 15 points in his first collegiate action against UL Monroe. The 6-foot-3, 185 pound guard would match that 15-point scoring output against Missouri on Jan. 7.
Givens had two other double-figure scoring games against Stetson on Dec. 17, 2024, when he scored 12 and against national champion Florida on Feb. 22 when he scored 11.

In its transfer portal rankings, 247Sports rates Givens as a four-star transfer, as the No. 30 point guard and as the 190th-ranked player nationally.
