08/03/22 - QB Hunter Dekkers, rSr/2025, Iowa State

It's hard to overstate the job ahead for Hunter Dekkers. The 6-foot-3, 203-pounder takes over the Iowa State offense after two years of an understudy, tasked with replacing Brock Purdy, the most accomplished QB in program history, and keeping Iowa State on the upward trajectory its charted for the last six years. All with minimal experience and an offense that lost All-American weapons at multiple positions. That's what makes Dekkers the Cyclones' most important player in 2022. "True superstar is can you handle being what a starting quarterback in a Power Five school looks like?" Campbell said earlier this year. "Quarterback is a different animal. Can you handle the grind of playing Power Five football, and handling the success and failures that come with it? "Hunter has competitive excellence. You see talent and ability in him." Dekkers got only mop-up duty in Iowa State's historic 2020 season, but twice saw significant time - vs. Iowa and at Oklahoma - in 2021. Both, though, were in limited quantities. He threw just 36 passes a year ago, making him very much an unknown commodity for anyone outside the Bergstrom Football Complex.

In those small opportunities, though, Dekkers has shown enough for there to be reason for optimism. He's got a big arm, making the vertical threat realer than it ever was under Purdy, whose accuracy and efficiency was often predicated on short tosses over deep throws. He's also shown the ability to be resilient, marching Iowa State down for a touchdown at Oklahoma after throwing an interception the previous drive. It's not much to go on, but Campbell has shown lots of confidence in Dekkers. Campbell has been able to watch Dekkers closely for two years in practice, and he liked what he saw enough to opt against bringing in a transfer QB to even compete for the job. "Superstar potential," wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson said of his future QB. - Des Moines Register
