Grant Rohach (born February 5, 1994) is an American former professional football quarterback. Rohach played college football for the Iowa State Cyclones and Buffalo Bulls.

Early life

Rohach attended Moorpark High School in Moorpark, California. He committed to Iowa State to play for coach Paul Rhoads.

College career

Iowa State

Rohach was redshirted as a freshman in 2012. For the 2013 season, he served as the primary backup quarterback to Cyclones starting quarterback Sam Richardson, starting the final four games of the season against TCU, Oklahoma, Kansas, and West Virginia, recording wins over the Jayhawks and Mountaineers. For the 2014 season, Rohach again served as the backup to Richardson, making one start on the season against Kansas. Rohach again served as the backup quarterback, but did not play at all during the 2015 season, leading to speculation that he would seek a transfer to another school in search of more playing time. On December 1, 2015, Rohach announced that he would transfer.

Buffalo

In December 2015, Rohach announced that he was transferring to Buffalo to play for coach Lance Leipold. As a graduate senior transfer, he was able to play immediately for the Bulls. Rohach was named Buffalo's starting quarterback to start the 2016 season. After a season-opening loss to Albany, Rohach was benched in favor of redshirt freshman Tyree Jackson. He made one more start, against Bowling Green in the final game of the season, following an injury to Jackson.

Professional career

On October 5, 2017, Rohach signed with the Iowa Barnstormers of the Indoor Football League. In five games, he completed 24 of 43 pass attempts for 295 yards and 7 touchdowns. He also rushed for 106 yards and three touchdowns.
