Iowa quarterback Brendan Sullivan recently entered the transfer portal, but it doesn't look like he'll be there for too long.

In fact, early indications are that Sullivan, 22, could wind up playing elsewhere in the Big Ten.

That's because Michigan reportedly has reached out to Sullivan, according to On3.com. Sullivan entered the portal after the arrival of quarterback Mark Gronowski from South Dakota State. Gronowski was highly decorated at the FCS level, including being named the 2023 player of the year.

Last season as a backup, Sullivan completed 38 of 53 passes for 475 yards for the Hawkeyes. He threw three touchdown passes and three interceptions.

He spent one season at Iowa following two seasons at another Big Ten program, Northwestern.

Coming out of high school in Davison, Mich., Sullivan was a three-star recruit ranked No. 49 among quarterbacks in the Class of 2021, according to the 247Sports composite.

Michigan already has brought in quarterback Bryce Underwood, the No. 1 overall player in the 2025 class, according to the 247Sports composite. From Belleville, Mich., Underwood was a January enrollee.
