The two-time FCS national champion and 2023 Player of the Year aims to elevate Iowa's offense and boost his NFL prospects.

Mark Gronowski, former South Dakota State quarterback, announced his transfer to Iowa for his final collegiate season.
Gronowski had a decorated FCS career, winning two national titles, earning the 2023 Walter Payton Award, and compiling a 49-6 record as a starter.
He considered entering the NFL Draft but chose Iowa for its NFL-style offense under coach Tim Lester, who previously worked with the Green Bay Packers.
Iowa's offense, which showed improvement in 2024, hopes to benefit from Gronowski's dual-threat capabilities and extensive experience.
Gronowski aims to develop further as a player and position himself as a strong NFL prospect during his time at Iowa.
