Former Iowa football quarterback Spencer Petras announced on X, formerly known as Twitter, that he has committed to Utah State.

Petras entered the transfer portal as a graduate transfer on Nov. 13.

Petras tore his right rotator cuff and labrum during Iowa’s 24-17 loss to Nebraska at Kinnick Stadium last season and has not played a snap this year. He instead has spent his time in Iowa City rehabbing and working as a temporary professional employee on the football team. He has one year of eligibility left due to COVID-19.

Hailing from San Rafael, California, Petras finished his five-year career with the Hawkeyes with 5,199 yards, 24 touchdowns, 19 interceptions, and a 56.7% completion percentage.

Iowa defeated Utah State, 24-14, in this year’s season opener.
