Iowa freshman running back Mika'il McCall is leaving the program.

Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz said Wednesday that McCall intends to transfer.

The 18-year-old McCall had a promising debut, rushing for 61 yards in the season opener before breaking his ankle. He returned in late November, but had just 4 yards rushing in a win over Purdue.

McCall, from Dolton, Ill., was suspended for the final two games because of an undisclosed violation.
