Rocco Becht has announced he will follow coach Matt Campbell from Iowa State to Penn State, giving the Nittany Lions a veteran quarterback to replace Ethan Grunkemeyer.

Becht stated his decision in a social media post late Sunday. Grunkemeyer posted at about the same time that he would enter the transfer portal, and multiple media outlets reported he will reunite with James Franklin at Virginia Tech.

Becht started 39 straight games for Campbell at Iowa State, the longest active streak among Big 12 quarterbacks and fourth-longest in the nation among quarterbacks. He will continue to work with his Iowa State offensive coordinator, Taylor Mouser, for his final season of eligibility.

Becht, who led the Cyclones to the Big 12 championship game in 2024, completed 60% of his passes this season for 215 yards per game with 16 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He has been one of the steadiest quarterbacks in the country the past three years, and he had a Bowl Subdivision-best streak of 22 games with at least one touchdown pass.

Grunkemeyer is first in line to take over as Virginia Tech quarterback for Kyron Drones, who has exhausted his eligibility. Grunkemeyer, who was thrust into action after Drew Allar broke his ankle at midseason, led the Nittany Lions to four straight wins to end the season. He finished with a program-record 69.1% completion rate and threw for more than 200 yards in three games. He has three seasons of eligibility.

North Texas quarterback Drew Mestemaker and running back Caleb Hawkins are also on the move and following their coach, with both committing to Oklahoma State with coach Eric Morris. The two freshmen helped lead the Mean Green to a school-record 12 wins, and they missed out on a College Football Playoff berth only after losing to Tulane in the American Conference championship game.

Mestemaker, the national passing leader after never starting a varsity game at quarterback in high school, changed the picture on his X profile to himself in an Oklahoma State uniform. Hawkins, who ran for 1,434 yards and a national-best 25 touchdowns, posted a photo with him in a Cowboys uniform and wrote “100% committed.”

Morris was introduced as Oklahoma State’s coach last month after three seasons at North Texas.

Oklahoma State, which had one of the worst passing offenses in the country, gets a quarterback who threw for 4,379 yards — second all-time among FBS freshmen — and a UNT-record 34 TD passes. Mestemaker’s 15 straight games with at least 200 yards passing is the longest streak in the nation.

Nebraska has found its replacement for Dylan Raiola in Notre Dame’s Kenny Minchey, according to media reports. Minchey was backup to C.J. Carr and played 87 snaps over six games. Minchey, a four-star recruit coming out of high school in Hendersonville, Tenn., has two seasons of eligibility.

Wisconsin announced it has added former Iowa State running back Abu Sama III, who had rushed for 1,933 yards over the last three seasons. Sama ran for 732 yards and five touchdowns on 140 carries this season.

Sama will be part of a backfield that also includes former Old Dominion quarterback Colton Joseph, who announced Sunday that he was transferring to Wisconsin.

Quarterback Bryce Underwood announced Monday that he staying at Michigan for his sophomore season to play for first-year coach Kyle Whittingham.

As the nation’s top-rated recruit, Underwood signed with the Wolverines under former coach Sherrone Moore and became the fourth true freshman to start at quarterback for college football’s winningest program.
