Former ISU quarterback Seneca Wallace found a new home on Sunday — Seattle.

Wallace was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in last weekend’s NFL draft with the 13th pick in the fourth round (110th overall).

Leading up to the draft, Wallace was unsure of where and when he would be chosen.

“I could have gone in the third round or later than what I did, you just never know until you get that call,” he said.

All that uncertainty ended Sunday.

“I feel great about it. I really feel blessed,” Wallace said.

ISU head football coach Dan McCarney shared in Wallace’s elation when he heard the news.

“It’s just fantastic. I’m thrilled for him,” McCarney said. “I had heard of him going anywhere from third round to being a free agent after the draft was over, but it’s no surprise to me that he was drafted in the top four rounds. I’ve said all along that he can play in the NFL, and obviously the Seattle Seahawks felt the same way.”

Dispelling any notions of him playing a number of different positions, Wallace said the Seahawks want him behind the center.

“They drafted me to play quarterback, and that’s what I want to play,” Wallace said.

In Seattle, Wallace will be under the tutelage of Mike Holmgren, who won Super Bowl XXXI while coaching the Green Bay Packers. Holmgren also coached one of the greatest arms in football — future Hall of Famer Brett Favre.

“I’m excited about working with coach Holmgren,” Wallace said.

“He did a great job in Green Bay and with Brett Favre. He had a really close relationship with Favre; he creates good relationships with all of his quarterbacks.”

Wallace said he hasn’t discussed any contract details with the Seahawks yet, but that issue will be settled soon.

“We should get something figured out in the next week or two,” he said.

Wallace also hopes to keep his same No. 15 when he enters the league. He said that as of now he will keep his number, but the team isn’t sure yet.

Another plus of going to Seattle is how close it is to his hometown of Sacramento, Calif. — only about a 45-minute flight or a 12-hour drive.

“It’s a nice little drive, but it’s still closer than having to go to Iowa,” Wallace said.

He will head to a mini-camp for the Seahawks this Thursday, but not before returning to Iowa State. Wallace flew into Ames early Monday morning — just in time for class.

Although Wallace was the only player from Iowa State to be selected in the draft, two other former Cyclones signed with NFL teams on Monday.

After the draft ended, many undrafted players began signing free agent contracts. Former Cyclone center Zach Butler signed a free agent contract with the Carolina Panthers, and linebacker Jeremy Loyd signed on with the Cleveland Browns.

Iowa’s Brad Banks, who was the Heisman Trophy runner-up but also undrafted, signed a free agent contract with the Washington Redskins.
