Iowa’s 2-deep football depth chart contained few surprises on Wednesday.

Cade McNamara, as expected, was No. 1 at quarterback. McNamara missed the final nine games of last season after suffering a knee injury that required surgery.

Marco Lainez was listed at No. 2 at QB. Brendan Sullivan, who transferred from Northwestern in the spring, was at No. 3.

Some other notables:

• Kaleb Brown is listed at No. 1 at one of the wide receiver spots. Brown was arrested for OWI in late June.

• Luke Lachey is No. 1 at tight end. Lachey was hurt in the third game of last season and missed the rest of the season.

• Drew Stevens is No. 1 at kicker. Stevens was 18-of-26 in field goals last season. Rhys Dakin is No. 1 at punter.
