## Resource

Iowa’s quarterback room is heating up with unexpected depth this season—Jeremy Hecklinski and Hank Brown are battling for the starting job, but Jimmy Sullivan, a six-foot-one veteran from Fort Wayne, is quietly making waves after soaking up the playbook since 2025. With the possibility of injury opening the door—or even a strong showing under pressure—Sullivan could force his way into the conversation. Add in four-star freshman Tradon Bessinger, and Iowa’s QB competition is suddenly wide open, not just layered with talent but full of potential. For Ferentz and staff, it’s a thrilling dilemma: more options mean more resilience—and a brighter future for the Hawkeyes.
