Iowa quarterback Brendan Sullivan says the Hawkeye program was the right fit for him. Sullivan transferred to Iowa after spending three seasons and starting eight games at Northwestern.

New Iowa offensive coordinator Tim Lester recruited Sullivan when he was the head coach at Western Michigan.

Sullivan joins a quarterback room that includes starter Cade McNamara and Marco Lainez.

Sullivan feels the experience he gained at Northwestern is a plus.

The Hawkeyes open the season on August 31st against Illinois State.
