Iowa State star Audi Crooks, the nation's second-leading scorer in 2025-26, is entering the transfer portal.
The 6-foot-3 center, who has one year of eligibility remaining, announced her plans Thursday on Instagram.
'Thank you all for embracing me and showing up to Hilton every single game day,' Crooks, an Iowa native, wrote in a post directed to Cyclone Nation. 'I've met so many of you out in the community, and I will cherish all of the genuine connections that I've built during my time at Iowa State.
'I still believe the grass is greener where you water it, and I've done that here. It's why I want you to hear from me directly that I have decided to enter the portal and explore what it means to take root again in new ground.'
Crooks averaged 25.8 points on 64.9% shooting along with 7.7 rebounds in 31 starts this season for the Cyclones, who finished 22-10. Iowa State lost to Syracuse in the first round of the Women's NCAA Tournament despite 37 points from Crooks.
Crooks was a second-team All-American in 2025-26 and a three-time All-Big 12 first-team selection at Iowa State, where she averaged 22.8 points and 7.7 boards in 99 games (95 starts).
