Padilla, who had three starts in 2021, played in a total of 13 games in college career at Iowa, completing 77 of 157 pass attempts for 821 yards with three touchdowns and four interceptions for the Hawkeyes.

The Hawkeyes also have commitments from Marco Lainez in the Class of 2023 and James Resar in the Class of 2024 and will be pursuing a quarterback in the transfer portal for next season.
