Cody Sokol, Iowa to Louisiana Tech, 2014: Sokol spent two seasons at Scottsdale (Arizona) Community College and then enrolled at Iowa, where he hoped playing in a pro-style offense would prepare him for the NFL. But Sokol couldn't unseat Jake Rudock and
C.J. Beathard, so he transferred to Louisiana Tech last summer.
In his only season with the Bulldogs, Sokol passed for 3,436 yards with 30 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. He helped lead Louisiana Tech to a turnaround season, finishing 9-5 and beating Illinois 35-18 in the Zaxby's Heart of Dallas Bowl.
