University of Iowa quarterback Cade McNamara, who suffered a season-ending injury in the Michigan State game September 30th, announced his intention to come back and play for the Hawks in 2024.
In a Twitter post, McNamara said, “I want to thank everyone for all the love and support. The road ahead is a rigorous one but nothing I haven’t overcome before. I can’t wait to get back to Iowa City to support my teammates for the rest of this season!”
After leading Michigan to a Big Ten championship and a semifinal appearance in the College Football Playoff in 2021, McNamara barely played the next season and had surgery by the end of 2022. He got hurt during the Kids Day scrimmage in August at Kinnick Stadium, and missed practice time.
His brief line with the Hawks in 2023 was 46 of 90 passing for 505 yards. He threw four TD passes and was intercepted three times.
McNamara ended his Tweet with, “There is still a lot I want to accomplish in the Black and Gold and look forward to bringing it to life in the 2024 season. Go Hawks!”
He received dozens of well-wishes from fans commenting on his post.
