I follow Iowa football very closely and I've never heard of him, and I can't be alone.
That's because he's a walk-on.
I don't blame him at all for wanting to go somewhere where he can get playing time. Best of luck to him.
Pretty darn sure Ertz played in that game.He was the QB for Spirit Lake who beat Mediapolis in the 2A Championship 2 years ago when Ertz was hurt and didn't play for Mepo.
