Brendan Sullivan visiting Iowa on Tuesday
The Iowa Hawkeyes might be a step closer to bringing another arm into their quarterback room. A source confirmed to HawkeyeReport.com early on Monday evening that Brendan Sullivan will begin a visit to Iowa City on Tuesday morning.
The former Northwestern signal caller entered the NCAA transfer portal last month, which surprised many close to the Wildcat program. The 6-foot-3 and 225 pound quarterback will be entering his fourth year at the college level.
Sullivan redshirted in his first year in Evanston and then he appeared in five games and made four starts (0-4) as a redshirt freshman for the Wildcats. That season, he finished 71/96 passing (74.0%) for 589 yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions and had 97 yards rushing and one touchdown on the ground as well.
In 2023, Sullivan began the season as the backup to starter Ben Bryant, but was called into action in late September when Bryant went down with an injury. Sullivan ended up appearing in seven games with four starts (2-2) and was 63/99 passing (63.6%) for 714 yards with six touchdowns and two interceptions. He also had 160 yards rushing and two touchdowns on the ground.
When he was coming out of high school in Michigan, new Iowa offensive coordinator Tim Lester offered Sullivan a scholarship at Western Michigan. He was a three star prospect at the time and turned down offers from Lester, but also Indiana and nearly every school in the Mid-American Conference.
He also had made a pair of starts against the Hawkeyes, including last year in Iowa’s win over Northwestern at Wrigley Field. His first start was in the 2022 season in Iowa City. The Hawkeyes won the game 33-13 and Sullivan was 23-30 for 159 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Last year was an ugly passing game, completing 12-19 for 81 yards and one score in a 10-7 loss to the Hawkeyes.
If Sullivan were to commit to Iowa, he would have two years of eligibility remaining. Iowa currently has two quarterbacks on campus in Cade McNamara and Marco Lainez. They will also be adding incoming freshman James Resar in June.
One of the top Iowa high school football prospects in the state has made his college decision official.
Iowa City Regina High School senior-to-be Tate Wallace has announced he has verbally committed to the University of Minnesota in the Big Ten Conference. Wallace picked the Golden Gophers and head coach PJ Fleck over a finalists Notre Dame, Nebraska, Arizona, Arizona State and Wisconsin.
Wallace narrowed down his list of schools to six at the end of April before making his final decision.
Iowa City Regina Football Standout Tate Wallace Ranked As No. 2 Overall Prospect In Iowa High School Football
The 6-foot-2, 226-pound linebacker is considered the No. 2 overall prospect in the state of Iowa for high school football, and is the No. 21 linebacker in the Class of 2027, according to 247Sports.
In the 247Sports Composite rankings, Wallace is No. 2 in Iowa high school football, No. 29 at linebacker and No. 359 for the Class of 2027.
Along With Minnesota, Tate Wallace Currently Holds Offers From Schools Such As Arizona, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Iowa State
Wallace currently holds 16 total offers including from the previously mentioned Minnesota, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Arizona, Arizona State, Wisconsin, Iowa State, Kansas State, Purdue, Tennessee, West Virginia, Eastern Michigan, Miami (Ohio), Toledo, UNLV, North Dakota and North Dakota State.
As a junior, Wallace registered almost 50 tackles on defense, with 29 of them being counted as solo stops. He had 18 tackles for loss, 8.5 quarterback sacks and forced two fumbles, as Iowa City Regina advanced to the state championship game of the Iowa High School Athletic Association State Football Championships.
Future Minnesota Golden Gopher Has Been Key Two-Way Starter For Regals
Wallace also hauled in 40 passes for 611 yards with 10 receiving touchdowns on offense for the Regals. As a two-way player for Iowa City Regina during his sophomore season, Wallace had 27.5 tackles, including 16 solo stops, four tackles for loss and a quarterback sack, adding 51 receptions for 752 yards and eight touchdowns.
Back in March, Wallace announced seven spring visits to Notre Dame, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Arizona, Kansas State and Arizona State. He also visited Tennessee this past fall, taking in an SEC contest with the Volunteers.
Along with his success on the football field, Wallace helped lead the Regals to the Iowa High School Athletic Association Boys State Basketball Tournament this past winter. He earned High School on SI all-state honors in the process.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (KCRG) — Volunteers broke ground Saturday for Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity’s 16th Woman Build, honoring a retired University of Iowa nursing professor.
Liz Swanson, a retired nursing professor, was chosen as this year’s honoree for her decades of impact. The Women Build program focuses on including women in every step of home construction.
While the home is built in Swanson’s honor, it will go to a fellow nurse and mother of three. The family applied through the affordable housing program.
Swanson said she’s proud to be part of a project that directly connects to her nursing legacy.
“It’s very special to have the unique opportunity to help the nurse who is working nights,” Swanson said.
Swanson said stable housing gives families the security to plan for the future.
“It means security for families. We talked briefly to the children and they said, ‘we’re gonna have our own bedroom,’” Swanson said.
Volunteers are set to begin work on the home in August. Those interested in volunteering can find more information here.
