Iowa’s starting quarterback is likely to miss the remainder of the 2023 season, according to recent reports. Cade McNamara injured his knee during Iowa’s victory over Michigan State last Saturday.
McNamara was in his first season at Iowa after having transferred from Michigan. When asked about the nature of the leg injury, Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz was not hopeful about his quarterback moving forward.
“I don’t want to speculate, but it always is concerning, a guy has to get helped off the field. Considering what he’s been through, it’s really tough. You feel bad for any player that gets injured, but in his case, it’s rough.”
The Hawkeyes are now expected to start Deacon Hill at quarterback. Hill recently transferred from Wisconsin.
Iowa next takes the field against Purdue this Saturday at 2:30 p.m.
