Cade will need surgery to repair his ACL, and as a result, he won’t be able to play for the rest of the season. However, he will continue to support the team from the sidelines. It’s a tough setback for him and the team.

Cade McNamara is a senior who joined the Iowa team for the 2023 season after spending the last three years at Michigan.

His injury is particularly unfortunate given his recent transfer. This season, Cade completed 51 percent of his passes, throwing for 505 yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions.
