Somehow this is simultaneously indicative of the quality of our QB recruits.
And our WR’s.
And our WR’s.

I didn't think of it that way, but that's an interesting take.

Good athlete. Listening to people that cover the program I got the impression that he was going to be a project getting him up to speed as a passer. I’m guessing everyone came to the conclusion that if he wants to see the field it would be at another position.
The recruiting and development of quarterbacks has been brutal the last 5 years.

Marvin McNutt did the same thing and was arguably one of our better receivers

Yep. As was Kevin Kasper.
Iowa has a long history of recruiting QBs, then converting them. Cooper DeJean also comes to mind.

Yes, there is a long list. Micah Hyde another former QB that could have been moved to WR but ended up excelling as a DB at Iowa.

He is 6’4 and 212 lbs. He is also a very good track athlete. His body frame and long arms do remind you of McNutt. If he puts it altogether, do I dare say he has the potential to be a more utilized Brandon Smith?
Brendan Sullivan
Marco Lainez
Jackson Stratton
That’s the quarterback room going into 2025. We will see if they go after someone in the portal to push Sullivan. The offensive line will be Stephens and Dunker, combined with a bunch of newbies. I’m just trying to get a grasp on what the offense will look like next year.

If only we could turn our QB recruits into B10 QB's.

I'm not sure I was ever convinced that he was recruited to be a QB. 6'4" 212 pounds. Ran a 10.6 100 in HS. Threw for 1500 yards as a senior. Would love to have speed like his at QB, but there's more to being a QB than being able to run. Either way, I'm glad to have him. You can never have too many athletes.

Yes. I'm sure that the thought from day one was that if QB didn't work out for whatever reason, WR and DB were very viable back-up plans.
Obviously, a lot depends upon the recruit and how flexible they are. Still, it would have been quite interesting to see what he could have done with a few read-option plays thrown in the mix. Seeing him stress out the defense over and over would have been fun to watch.
Also, we have to keep in mind that track speed doesn't necessarily correlate with success at WR. Hopefully, he has the requisite hands and body control to go along with it. David Bell was a nightmare for our defense and would be absolutely blown away by Resar on the track.
