4 days ago 2

College football's all-time winning quarterback, Mark Gronowski, is going to have one more run in the college ranks before he turns his attention to getting a shot at the NFL. After leading the Iowa Hawkeyes to a nine-win season, capped by a very strong bowl win over the Vanderbilt Commodores, he has commanded attention for postseason affairs.

Each year, the East-West Shrine Bowl brings together some of college football's biggest stars to practice and compete in front of NFL scouts as they try to earn a spot at the next level.

This year, the East-West Shrine Bowl has invited Mark Gronowski to compete, which he has accepted. The game is set to take place on January 27, 2026, at the Ford Center in Frisco, Texas.

During his lone season at Iowa, Mark Gronowski revitalized Iowa's offense and changed the national narrative of what college football fans viewed the Hawkeyes as. He threw for 1,741 yards and 10 touchdowns while adding 545 yards on the ground and an astounding 16 rushing touchdowns. He also hauled in one receiving touchdown.

Before coming to Iowa, Gronowski led the South Dakota State Jackrabbits to two FCS National Championships. He ends his collegiate career with 12,071 passing yards, 103 passing touchdowns, 2,312 rushing yards, and 53 rushing touchdowns. He owns a 58-10 career record, which makes him the winningest college football quarterback of all time.
