The Iowa Hawkeyes have added another quarterback transfer from a Big 10 team, with Brendan Sullivan joining from Northwestern, following in the footsteps of Cade McNamara from Michigan the previous year. Sullivan, a three-star quarterback from Davison High School in Michigan, brings two years of eligibility after notching 1,303 passing yards and 10 touchdowns over two seasons at Northwestern.

By the Numbers
  • Brendan Sullivan threw for 1,303 yards and 10 touchdowns during his time at Northwestern.
  • Iowa's offense ranked 132nd out of 133 offenses in scoring, with the passing offense being the worst among non-service academy programs.
State of Play
  • Sullivan will compete to lead an Iowa offense that struggled, ranking 132nd in scoring and dead last in total offense.
  • The presumed starter, Cade McNamara, is currently rehabbing from a season-ending injury, adding uncertainty to the quarterback position.
Bottom Line

Brendan Sullivan's transfer to Iowa presents an opportunity to improve the team's struggling offense, but uncertainties linger with McNamara's injury and the overall performance of the quarterback position.
