Cyclones rebuild QB depth after transfer chaos

Losing over 60 players in one offseason would rattle any college football program, but Iowa State is bouncing back fast.

Now, with dual-threat Jaylen Raynor transferring in and promising recruit Hudson Kurland flipping his commitment to follow Rogers, the Cyclones suddenly have a much brighter outlook at the most important position. It’s a bold rebuild—do you think this new QB lineup can spark a turnaround for Iowa State this season? #Sports #Football #IowaState

Iowa State’s next challenge: Who steps up?

Baylor just showed every team how to slow down Iowa State—by making life tough for Audi Crooks and daring someone else to beat them.

It’s a wake-up call: if Iowa State wants to stay on top, they’ll need more players to step up when defenses lock in on their stars.
