Mandatory Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images Iowa quarterback Brendan Sullivan has recovered from a sprained ankle and will start the Music City Bowl against Missouri on Dec. 30, Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz said Friday.
Sullivan missed the final two games of the regular season due to the ailment.
"He feels fully confident," Ferentz said of Sullivan. "The injury is history now. It's passed. Just getting caught up because he missed a couple weeks there. This has been a good period where he's getting some work."
Walk-on Jackson Stratton started victories over Maryland and Nebraska while Sullivan was out. Cade McNamara, the starter at the outset of the season, recently entered the transfer portal.
Sullivan has passed for 344 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions and rushed for 144 yards and four scores this season. He was injured during a loss to UCLA on Nov. 8.
Sullivan spent three seasons at Northwestern -- redshirting his first campaign on campus -- before transferring to Iowa following last season.
