Penix’s best season came in 2020 when he threw for 1,645 yards and 14 touchdowns in 6 games played. Unfortunately, his season was cut short due to injury.
He was able to rehab and get back on the field to start the 2021 season vs. Iowa. Penix struggled in 5 games played this season with 939 yards passing and 4 touchdowns to a career-high 7 interceptions. Penix once again sustained a season-ending injury, this time in a loss to Penn State.
The QB has thrown for more than 4,100 yards and 29 touchdowns in his career. He will definitely be an interesting name to watch in the portal this offseason.
