Drew Tate (born October 8, 1984) is a professional gridiron football quarterback for the Ottawa Redblacks of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He was signed by the St. Louis Rams as an undrafted free agent in 2007. He played college football at Iowa.
Tate has also played for the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Calgary Stampeders.
Tate attended Robert E. Lee High School in Baytown, Texas, where he was coached there by his stepfather Dick Olin and had a record breaking career. He ranks first in the Texas high school football record book in career pass attempts and completions, ahead of Graham Harrell. He also ranks second in career passing yards with 12,183, behind Harrell (12,532), and third in career touchdown passes with 113, behind Harrell (167) and Colt McCoy (116).
He originally committed to Texas A&M, but de-committed after R. C. Slocum was replaced with Dennis Franchione. Tate also noted that he would likely sit behind established starter Reggie McNeal, so he chose to play for the University of Iowa under coach Kirk Ferentz. He played in the 2003 U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
