NORMAL – Former University of Minnesota starting quarterback Zack Annexstad has transferred to Illinois State and signed a scholarship agreement to join the Redbird football team.

“He’s played Big Ten football. He started as a freshman,” ISU coach Brock Spack said Monday. “We needed an older guy. We focused in on him and we got him. He’s played in big games. We thought that was very important.”

Annexstad will have two years of eligibility at ISU.

In 2018, Annexstad became the first Minnesota true freshman to begin the season as starting quarterback since 1980.
