Officially in the portal. Interesting thing, if you watched the Syracuse - WSU game their backup QB Zevi Eckhaus played awesome. SDSU HC is hired at WSU. Eckhaus enters portal the day after the game. He would’ve been the starter. I suspect Gronowski may head to WSU unless he gets mad money to go somewhere else?
Gronowski
- Thread starter FanatiCat
- Start date
He is still signed up to play in the East West Shrine Bowl game and may still go pro. Keeping his options open.
I'm so glad we've got our '25 QB, and we're not still in the Gronowski waiting game.
Waiting for Gronowski...it got to be like waiting for Godot.

What if: Gronowski had come with Lukan for 2024?
Preston Stone looks like a winner based on his 2023 performance.
It doesn’t matter now. Lujan has a QB ready to go (Lausch should play a Colter type role - he’s too talented not to be a WR with some real Wildcat potential).
South Dakota State QB Mark Gronowski to enter portal, keep eye on draft

Gronowski reportedly visiting Iowa today, which would make a ton of sense — he’s the kind of veteran game manager QB that they really need.
I think Gronowski is a “high floor” QB take whereas Stone is a “high ceiling” QB take. Happy with the guy we got.
Let's hope that does not give them a leg up on Wilde. He is the real prize for us in this process.
Who’s Wilde?
If Gronowski really wanted to be here he would’ve come with Lujan. Or at the very least, right after entering the portal last week.

1) Gronowski got a lot of NIL money from SDSU to come back there, plus he was going for a 3-peat that would’ve put him on the Mount Rushmore of all-time FCS greats.
2) Gronowski didn’t enter the portal until after Stone had committed to NU. I’m sure we would have recruited him had he entered before or simultaneously with Stone.
Hadn’t heard Iowa specifically mentioned with respect to Wilde, but would make a ton of sense given how things have played out.
As far as point #2 goes, if Gronowski wanted to be with Lujan at NU we would have known that long before we went after Stone. Whether he was officially in the portal or not.
I tend to agree with your preference of Stone over Gronowski. However, if Gronowski ends up at Iowa and we don’t add a couple of starter quality players on OL and WR, I wouldn’t be surprised at all in Gronowski had a better year.
Fair point. I’m confident we will land additional OL and WR. Will be interesting.
Grownowski should get multiple offers including Iowa. Stone looks like a stud too.
Both are one season rentals. Braun & Lujan are likely happy as heck rn
Stone is supposedly going to try to get another year of eligibility based on past injuries, but seems like an extremely long shot.
