Ricky Stanzi

Stanzi has played unevenly at times over his Iowa career, but has gained a reputation as a winner who comes up with big plays in big spots. He passed for 2,417 yards and 17 touchdowns, but also threw 15 interceptions and finished with only a 56.3% completion percentage. Iowa struggled when he missed time last year due to an ankle injury, so he will have full control of the offense this season. He’s not very mobile, and has the potential for poor games, but he is a strong leader at the helm of a potent Big Ten offense.
