Iowa State coach Matt Campbell says several true freshmen are battling for playing time as the Cyclones get ready for the season. Campbell says over the past few years the trend has been for incoming freshmen to be more game ready.
Campbell has been impressed with the newcomers.
Campbell says a strong freshman class helps provide depth.
The Cyclones open the season at home on September second against UNI.
Iowa State offensive lineman Jarrod Hufford says the Cyclones are motivated by the failures of last season. The Cyclones finished 4-8 in 2022 and six of the losses were by a touchdown or less. The redshirt senior from Ohio started all 12 games last season.
The question mark at quarterback has not hurt his confidence. Hunter Dekkers is not at fall camp after being charged in a gambling investigation and several candidates are competing for the job.
He says the offensive line is focused on improvement no matter who the starting quarterback is.
Hufford’s versatility is a strength. He has started games at left tackle and left guard.
The Cyclones open the season at home on September second against Northern Iowa.

Businessman Vivek Ramaswamy promised to shut down the F-B-I. North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum told the crowd nothing is more important than having people engaged in the political process.
