Iowa QB Mark Gronowski has been a strong contender for QB1 here at the Shrine Bowl.
Looks very comfortable under center, climbing the pocket, thrown from different angles today, and just had a nice throw up the seam that drew some shouts from scouts
Genuinely one of the best dudes I’ve ever been around in my 17 years in College Football. A proven leader, a warrior on the field and an even better dude off the field. Some @NFL team is going to be lucky to add @mgronowski11 to their QB room here in a few months.
Mark Gronowski goes out in style
16/22, 266 total yards, 3 TDs
The winningest QB in CFB history finishes his career with a record of (58-10)
The NFL awaits.
It feels like just yesterday I was getting dropped off at @HawkeyeFootball and now Cado is in the mix. Wow! Boy have things changed since I went thru the recruiting process. I’m almost certain I took my official visit in late February or early March! @CadenConsidine1 has some unreal things to consider! Thankful for the Hawkeye family circle of trust I developed in the early 2000’s. It’s been an important thing to lean on during his recruiting process!
Iowa has now won eight (8) games in EVERY full season since 2015.
That’s 10 straight FULL years of 8+ wins for the Hawkeyes.
Iowa is one (1) of just four (4) FBS programs with 8+ wins in the last 10 FULL yrs:
• Alabama
• Georgia
• Iowa
• Ohio St
Remarkable success.
