## College career

On February 6, 2017, Bohannon was named Big Ten Conference Freshman of the Week after averaging 16 points, three assists and 2.5 rebounds per game, shooting 69 percent from three-point range, in wins over Rutgers and Nebraska. On March 2, he recorded 11 points and five assists and made a game-winning three-pointer with 9.7 seconds remaining in a 59–57 victory over 21st-ranked Wisconsin. Four days later, he was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week for a second time. Bohannon registered double-doubles in each of his final three games of the season. In the second round of the 2017 Big Ten tournament, Bohannon posted 24 points and 10 assists in a 95–73 loss to Indiana. In his season finale at the second round of the 2017 National Invitation Tournament, he recorded season-highs of 25 points and 13 assists in a 94–92 overtime loss to TCU. As a freshman, Bohannon averaged 10.9 points, 5.2 assists and 2.2 rebounds per game, earning Big Ten All-Freshman Team honors. He set Iowa freshman single-season records in three-pointers and assists.
For much of his sophomore season, Bohannon played through plantar fasciitis in his right foot. On November 22, 2017, he scored a sophomore season-high 30 points, shooting 6-of-8 from three-point range, in a 95–85 win over UAB. He averaged 13.5 points, 5.4 assists and 2.2 rebounds, shooting 43 percent on three pointers, and was an honorable mention All-Big Ten selection by the media. A notable moment occurred on February 25, 2018, where after tying the school's record of 34 straight free throws made, he intentionally missed the 35th so as not to break the record of Chris Street, an Iowa alumnus who died in a car accident during his record streak. After the game he spoke with reporters and said, "That's not my record to have. That record deserves to stay in his name."
On February 7, 2019, as a junior, he scored a season-high 25 points, including his team's final 11 points, in a 77–72 victory over Indiana. Three days later, Bohannon scored 11 points and made a game-winning three-pointer in an 80–79 win over Northwestern. On February 22, he scored 17 points and made three three-pointers in overtime to help defeat Indiana. In his junior season, Bohannon averaged 11.6 points, 3.4 assists and 2.4 rebounds per game, surpassing Jeff Horner as Iowa's all-time leader in three-pointers. He was selected to the third team All-Big Ten by the coaches and was named honorable mention All-Big Ten by the media. In May 2019, Bohannon underwent surgery on his right hip, which had been causing him pain since the beginning of his junior season. On December 16, after playing 10 games as a senior, he announced that he would undergo season-ending surgery for a left hip injury, which he first noticed about one month after his previous surgery, and would seek a medical redshirt to play another season.
After leading Iowa in assists and three-pointers in 2020–21, and also averaging 10.6 points per game, he announced that he would return for a rare sixth season of eligibility in 2021–22. Because of disruptions to college sports caused by COVID-19, the NCAA ruled that the 2020–21 season would not be counted against the eligibility of any student-athlete in an NCAA winter sport, including basketball.
During the early hours of May 23, 2021, Bohannon was assaulted in a bar by another patron not far from the Iowa campus in Iowa City, suffering what was described as a serious head injury. He was expected to recover in time for the 2021–22 season, and returned for the start of the Hawkeyes' season.
On November 18, 2021, Bohannon set the Big Ten record for career three-point field goals when he hit his 375th in a game against Alabama State. Bohannon passed Ohio State's Jon Diebler. On March 12, 2022, he scored 12 points and hit the game-winning three-pointer in an 80–77 win against Indiana in the Big Ten tournament. Bohannon was named Honorable Mention All-Big Ten.
