  Former Wisconsin quarterback Deacon Hill has committed to Iowa, he announced Wednesday on social media. Hill, a former three-star recruit from Santa Barbara, Calif., did not see any game action in two seasons with the Badgers. Hill, who announced plans to transfer in October, initially committed to Fordham before flipping his commitment to Iowa this week. Iowa analyst Jon Budmayr was the quarterbacks coach at Wisconsin when Hill chose the Badgers out of high school.

Hill, who has three years of eligibility remaining, will add depth to a quarterback position that has lost two players to the transfer portal since the end of the 2022 season. Cade McNamara is the likely starter after transferring from Michigan, and Joe Labas is the incumbent at the No. 2 quarterback spot after making his debut in the Music City Bowl. - The Gazette

  Kody Wilstead passed for 350 yards and a touchdown, ran for another and Dixie State forced five turnovers upending Tarleton State 26-14 in a clash of Division I newcomers on Saturday. Dixie State (1-0) had never beaten a D-I opponent in football in nine tries while competing as a Division II team. The aptly named Trailblazers never trailed against Tarleton State (1-2), forging ahead 10-0 after barely more than a quarter. After the Texans cut the lead to 10-7 with an Ryheem Skinner 1-yard score, Wilstead found Chase Hess for 43 yards, pushing the lead back to 10 points at halftime. Wilstead rushed for another score and James Baird added a 48-yard field goal. Tarleton scored after halftime on a 93-yard kickoff return by Kaylon Horton, who followed blockers up the right sideline before cutting past the final defender. - Dixie State/AP College Football
