IOWA CITY, Iowa — University of Iowa quarterback Jeremy Hecklinski was selected Monday as one of the Manning Award Stars of the Week following Iowa’s 41-24 victory at Washington.
Hecklinski (5-foot-11, 201 pounds) made his first career start, throwing for 202 yards and three touchdowns. He directed an Iowa offense that racked up 465 yards of total offense.
The native of Marietta, Georgia, is the fourth Iowa quarterback in the Kirk Ferentz era to throw for three touchdowns in his starting debut, joining Jon Beutjer (4) in 2000, Ricky Stanzi (2008) and Nate Stanley (2017).
Following the dominant road win over the Huskies, Iowa moved to No. 17 in the latest AP Poll.
The No. 17 Hawkeyes (5-1, 2-1) return to action at Minnesota (4-2, 2-1) on Saturday, Oct. 24.
