Iowa transfer guard Bennett Stirtz has had a busy few months. Before making the move to Iowa City, Stirtz began his career at Northwest Missouri State and then followed Head Coach Ben McCollum to Drake.
During his first season under McCollum at Northwest Missouri State (2022), Stirtz made an immediate impact. He played in all 34 games and started 27 of them.
He averaged 12.6 points per game on 60 percent shooting and was named the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association's (MIAA) Freshman of the Year and earned All-MIAA Second Team honors.
