McNamara shared this message via social media in December:
“My last two years at the University of Iowa have been an incredible journey. Through so many ups and downs, I couldn’t be more thankful for the amazing people and experiences I’ve had here. I am deeply grateful for the relationships I’ve built with my teammates, coaches, and newfound friends.
“I want to specifically thank Coach Ferentz, Coach Lester, and the entire Iowa football staff for their unwavering support and wisdom. I will truly miss this program and state, and they will always hold a special place in my heart.
“With that being said, I will be entering the transfer portal.
“I’m looking forward to this offseason, being the healthiest I’ve been in years, and continuing my growth as a player, leader, and person. I am excited to see where God takes my football journey next.
“Now and forever, Go Hawks!”
McNamara’s once hopeful career at Iowa did not go as planned. But now the signal caller will get a fresh start at East Tennessee State.
McNamara has thrown for more than 4,700 yards in his college career with a passing touchdown to interception ratio of 31-to-15. In 2021, he helped Michigan win a Big Ten title and make an appearance in the College Football Playoff. But since then, McNamara has failed to play a full season as he has battled major injuries.
