Iowa’s Week 10 matchup against Wisconsin will feature an unusual quarterback situation for the Hawkeyes. Starting quarterback Cade McNamara is out with a concussion, leaving sophomore Brendan Sullivan to lead the offense.
With the injury of backup Marco Lainez in practice, the spotlight now falls on Jackson Stratton, a 6-foot-4 sophomore who joins the Hawkeyes as a walk-on after transferring from Colorado State. Stratton saw limited game action in 2022 with the Rams, completing just 4-of-17 passes. However, he boasts a solid high school career with 4,469 passing yards and 52 touchdowns.
The third-string quarterback is freshman Kyler Gerardy, a 6-foot walk-on from North Scott High School. Gerardy, who is listed on Iowa’s roster as a defensive back, threw for 1,300 yards last season in high school.
This game presents a unique challenge for Iowa as they navigate a new quarterback lineup in a crucial conference game. With an unfamiliar face leading the offense, it remains to be seen how the Hawkeyes will perform against a tough Wisconsin defense.
