City High QB/DB Drew Larson is walking on at Iowa.

City High QB/DB Drew Larson has made his college decision. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound Iowa City native announced today that he has accepted a preferred walk-on opportunity with the hometown Hawkeyes.

“It’s always been my dream,” Larson told HawkeyeReport.com. “I’ve grown up a Hawkeye fan and always wanted to play at Kinnick Stadium.”

As a junior, Larson put up good numbers as a dual-threat quarterback, finishing the 2022 season with 1,841 yards passing with 19 touchdowns through the air as well as 303 yards rushing and five touchdowns on the ground. He also added 14.5 tackles and three interceptions on defense.

This year, Larson suffered a broken thumb on his throwing hand in the second game of the season, which limited him the rest of the fall, but he still helped the team with 326 yards passing, 62 yards rushing, 76 yards receiving and five touchdowns. On the defensive side of the ball, he finished with 9.5 tackles, two interceptions, and one fumble recovery.

During the recruiting process, Larson also made college visits to Iowa State, Minnesota, Missouri, and Northwestern, among others, but once the preferred walk-on opportunity from Iowa was extended, he quickly made up his mind.

“Iowa was really the only option I considered,” said Larson. “I didn’t really see myself going anywhere else.”
