Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz has used the transfer portal to add depth at quarterback. Colorado State transfer Jackson Stratton announced he is joining the Hawkeye program with three years remaining. Last month, Northwestern quarterback Brendan Sullivan joined the Hawkeyes after starting eight games for the Wildcats. He will have two years remaining. Hawkeye starter Cade McNamara is recovering from an ACL injury.

McNamara is expected to be medically cleared this summer.

Ferentz expects McNamara to be ready to go at the start of fall camp.

Ferentz says depth at quarterback will provide some insurance.

Iowa opens next season at home on August 31st against Illinois State.
