After recently entering the transfer portal, former Iowa Hawkeyes quarterback Spencer Petras has found a new home. Petras is headed to the Utah State Aggies with his final remaining year of eligibility.
The quarterback served in a coaching role this season as he rehabbed his shoulder following an injury late in the 2022 season that required surgery. The California native is headed back out west after spending five years on Iowa’s roster.

During his time at Iowa, Petras was 468-825 (55.7%), 5,199 yards, 24 TD, and 19 INT. While not a big runner, he did have the ability to punch it into the endzone on the ground with 11 rushing touchdowns.
Petras joins the Aggies just as they have an opening in their quarterback room due to some rather uncommon circumstances. Utah State quarterback Levi Williams is going to play in the Aggies’ bowl game but then forego his final year of eligibility. Rather than transferring or heading to the NFL, he is going to undertake Navy SEAL training.
Utah State went 6-6 this season and will take on Georiga State in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. Petras joins a quarterback room that includes four other rostered quarterbacks at the moment. He will be the most experienced of the bunch.
