Former Iowa football QB headed to Kansas JUCO
After transferring away from Iowa in December, former Hawkeyes quarterback James Resar announced he was back in the transfer portal last week.
The 6-foot-4, 212-pound quarterback didn't see any game action in his lone season in Iowa City. Resar initially transferred to Division II UNC-Pembroke on June 4. But, the Jacksonville, Fla., native's stay in North Carolina isn't a long one.
Resar announced his transfer commitment to Independence, a member of the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference.
Resar, a 6-foot-4, 212-pound quarterback, signed with the Hawkeyes as part of the 2024 class. Resar was regarded as a four-star signee, the No. 23 overall and the No. 41 recruit in Florida in the 2024 class, per 247Sports.
Though he arrived as a quarterback signee, Resar switched to wide receiver. Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz revealed Resar sustained a non-contact knee injury after the position change.
Resar was a tremendous track athlete when he signed with the Hawkeyes. The Florida native earned four varsity letters in track and was a 100-meter district champion with a personal best of 10.67 seconds.
Per 247Sports' 2025 transfer portal rankings, Resar is listed as the No. 58 available quarterback and No. 807 player overall.
Resar has four years of eligibility remaining.
