AMES, Iowa – Iowa State wide receiver Isaiah Alston has been named to the 2024 Comeback Player of the Year Award watch list, presented by College Sports Communicators in association with The Associated Press (AP) and the Fiesta Bowl Organization.

The watch list includes 90 college football student-athletes from 68 different schools. Since 2018, the award has recognized college football student-athletes for overcoming injury, illness, or other circumstances.

Alston, a redshirt junior from Cateret, New Jersey, transferred to Iowa State from Army after the 2023 season. He played just four games last season due to an ankle injury suffered in a September game against Syracuse.

Alston finished the season with nine receptions and two touchdowns while averaging 29.6 yards per catch.
