Big-armed Iowa QB with proven game management and bowl-game poise
Stanley was a sturdy, pro-style quarterback at Iowa who started 39 straight games and went 27-12, with a reputation for poise in big moments and a strong finish to his college career, including three bowl wins.[5] His calling card was arm strength and downfield passing efficiency—he threw for 2,852 yards in 2019 with a 59.3% completion rate and 30 touchdowns—but he was not a pure improviser, so he fit best in a structured offense that values timing, toughness, and decision-making over off-script fireworks.[8][5] He is retired from football as of 2023, so this is more a profile of his college fit than a current playing update.[1]
