  04/30/21 - Trevor DowningrSr/2023, Iowa State, 6-4, 299 (DS#12 C) + More +

  Trevor Downing's Operation Recovery looks to be complete. If Iowa State opened the season now, instead of Sept. 4 against Northern Iowa at Jack Trice Stadium, he'd back where he started. He'd be the No. 1 left guard on a very good offensive line again. That's the word from offensive coordinator Tom Manning, who told reporters Wednesday that Downing might be better than ever. "He's been playing with the ones," Manning said. "That's been a really good thing for us to see. He had a really good winter, with (strength coach Dave Andrews). That's paid big dividends for him. He's 100 percent back to normal. He's been really good. He feels healthy. He certainly looks stronger than prior to his injury." That was about the only question mark remaining for an offense that's essentially intact from last season - not only among the starters, but throughout the depth chart. Downing's good health means an exceptionally deep offensive line will have a combined 93 career starts among seven players when the season begins. From center Colin Newell's 26 starts to right tackle Joey Ramos' five, it's got every opportunity to be the Cyclones' best line ever. - Des Moines Register

  04/21/21 - Charlie KolarrSr/2022, Iowa State, 6-7, 248 (DS#4 TE) + More +

  Faced with one of the most consequential decisions of his life, Charlie Kolar flipped a coin. Not so much to render a verdict, though, as to give him some insight into his own thinking about the prospect of staying for a fifth season with the Iowa State football team or leaving for the NFL. "My parents taught me this technique - when you can't make a decision, flip a coin and you say you're going to make a decision based on the coin flip," the All-American tight end said. "The way you feel afterward gives you a pretty good idea of what you actually feel (about a decision)." So, Kolar flipped a coin after the 2020 season. "I think it landed for Iowa State," he recalled, "and I felt good about it."

The choice to return to Ames for another season was certainly one Iowa State felt good about, keeping one of the nation's top tight ends in the fold going into a season in which the Cyclones will be ranked in the top-10 and have College Football Playoffs aspirations. "He's light years ahead of where he was going into last season and we're only in April right now," Iowa State tight ends coach Taylor Mouser said. "The steps that we could take over the next months before the season, there are still a lot of areas we can get better at, as crazy as that sounds." The 6-foot-6, 257-pound Kolar had 44 catches for 591 yards and seven touchdowns last season, but in addition to simply being a year older and more experienced, there's reason to expect even better performance in 2021. - Des Moines Register

  04/06/21 - Dimitri StanleyrSr/2024, Iowa State, 5-11, 188 (DS#125 WR) + More +

  In the past two seasons, Dimitri Stanley has become one of Colorado's best receivers. The sophomore doesn't believe, however, he's reached his full potential. "I want to improve upon my blocking," Stanley said after the Buffs' third practice of spring on Friday. "I think I could have been a lot more efficient in the blocking game and in the run game. And then pretty much yards after catch - I think I can do a lot more from that standpoint. "Even on punt return, I think I can be one of the best returners in the (Pac-12). Just going into the season with that kind of confidence is going to take my game to the next level."

With KD Nixon transferring to Southern California this winter, the 6-foot, 190-pound Stanley is entering his fourth season with the Buffs as the most experienced receiver on the team. In 21 career games, Stanley has caught 55 passes for 690 yards and three touchdowns, while returning 18 punts for 124 yards. During the abbreviated 2020 season, he caught a team-high 20 passes for 335 yards and a touchdown. During the first week of spring practices, Stanley feels ready to take his game to another level. "So far I feel a lot better, honestly," he said. "I feel faster, stronger, quicker. I feel like I'm making guys miss. I feel like I'm catching the ball better. I'm honestly thinking that I'm just getting ready for the season now. I think I'm halfway there already. So, from this standpoint, it's just seeing how far I can go." - Daily Camera

  04/05/21 - Jake HummelrSr/2022, Iowa State, 6-1, 225 (DS#30 OLB) + More +

  Jake Hummel could read a depth chart. He also knew talent when he saw it. The Dowling Catholic product could do a little math, too. Despite playing as a true freshman, Hummel had Marcel Spears a year ahead and a spot above of him at linebacker. Spears, a three-time all-Big 12 selection, wouldn't be surrendering a starting linebacker spot. That left, Hummel knew, just one season for him to show what he could do as a starter for the Cyclones. As preparation for that lone year began, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, throwing everything into question. Eventually, though, the football season would come to be and, because of the NCAA's blanket waiver of additional eligibility, Hummel gets the chance to build upon his best season of football at the collegiate level. "This extra year, I knew I was going to have it," Hummel said Wednesday, "and I knew right away I was going to come back. "After last season I'm only more hungry to get better and work on myself." Hummel excelled in his first year as a starter, earning honorable mention all-conference honors after starting all 12 games and finishing second on the Cyclones with 77 tackles. - Des Moines Register

  02/08/21 - Brock PurdySr/2022, Iowa State, 6-1, 212 (DS#11 QB) + More +

  Iowa State coach Matt Campbell has agreed to a new eight-year contract through 2028 after leading the Cyclones to the Big 12 championship game and a New Year's Six bowl. The school did not release terms of the contract Monday. The Cyclones are coming off their most successful season in school history. They were 9-3 overall and first in the Big 12 at 8-1. They lost to Oklahoma in the conference championship game, then beat Oregon in the Fiesta Bowl and were No. 9 in the final Associated Press Top 25. Iowa State also agreed to provide Campbell a total of $3 million for staff salary increases over the next three years. - AP College Football

  Iowa State's historic football season received more national respect Tuesday: Matt Campbell's team checked in at No. 9 on both the Amway Coaches Poll and the AP's final 2020 poll. It's just the third time the Cyclones found a place in the AP's final ratings. The others were No. 25 after the 2000 season, and 19th after the 1976 season. This was the first time Iowa State finished among the Top 25 by the coaches. Iowa State concluded a 9-3 season by whipping Oregon in the Fiesta Bowl. Campbell's team returns nearly every starter for another run in 2021. - Des Moines Register

  Add an All-American tight end and an All-Big 12 starting safety to the impressive list of Iowa State football players returning next season.

Both have been rock-solid in helping the Cyclones to an impressive three-season run that includes a Fiesta Bowl victory, playing in the Big 12 championship game for the first time, and winning 24 of 38 games, including 19 of 27 against conference opponents. - Des Moines Register

  Iowa State's very good offensive line got even better Monday night. Starting left tackle Sean Foster said he's becoming a super senior. Foster started every game during the 2020 season, that culminated in a victory against Oregon in the Fiesta Bowl. Foster's return means every offensive line starter is likely to return for 2021. That includes starting left guard Trevor Downing, who missed the final 11 games with an injury. - Des Moines Register

  Breece Hall ran for 136 yards and two touchdowns, Brock Purdy accounted for two scores and No. 12 Iowa State grinded out a 34-17 victory over No. Oregon in the Fiesta Bowl on Saturday. The Cyclones (9-3, CFP 10) used their ball-control offense to dominate the time of possession and keep Oregon's offense off the field for long stretches to win their first New Year's Six bowl. Hall, an AP All-American, had 34 carries and his ninth 100-yard game this season.

Purdy, who went to high school in nearby Gilbert, threw for 156 yards and a touchdown on 20-of-29 passing, adding a touchdown on the ground. Iowa State had a time of possession advantage of more than 25 minutes. Oregon (4-3, CFP 25) alternated between Tyler Shough and Anthony Brown at quarterback, but couldn't sustain anything on offense and was plagued by numerous mistakes. The Ducks lost two fumbles, an interception and a pooch kick. They also turned it over when a punt hit a blocker’s helmet and had a touchdown wiped out by a penalty. The Cyclones had been building toward this moment. - AP College Football
