COMMITMENT: Louisville Lands Iowa Transfer Alvaro Folgueiras! Starting Power Forward for 2026-27?
The 6-foot-10 forward averaged 8.4 points and 3.6 rebounds for Iowa and gives Louisville another proven frontcourt option.
- On Tuesday, former Iowa forward Alvaro Folgueiras announced his commitment to the Louisville Cardinals, marking the program's fourth transfer portal pickup this offseason cycle.
- Folgueiras, a Malaga, Spain native, previously earned Horizon League Player of the Year honors at Robert Morris before joining the Iowa Hawkeyes as a key reserve.
- The 6-foot-10 forward, known as a 'bruising stretch four' with a 7-foot-4 wingspan, shot 78.8 percent on dunks and close twos and hit the game-winning 3-pointer against Florida in the NCAA Tournament.
- Joining for Year 3 of the Pat Kelsey era, Folgueiras brings one season of college eligibility remaining to the Cardinals alongside transfers Flory Bidunga, Karter Knox, and Jackson Shelstad.
- Known by his nickname 'The Octopus,' Folgueiras provides playmaking ability and versatility that could impact Louisville's performance significantly more than his statistics suggest.
