Iowa State is positioning itself to be a strong contender in the Big 12. The Cyclones have strategically utilized the transfer portal to address key needs on both sides of the ball. Offensively, they've brought in new talent to bolster the receiving corps and offensive line, which should complement the returning quarterback. This infusion of new players aims to provide more weapons and protection, crucial for a dynamic and productive offense.
Defensively, Iowa State has also been active in the portal, adding depth and experience to the defensive line and secondary. These additions will be vital in maintaining their defensive prowess, a hallmark of recent Iowa State teams. The return of key players from injury further strengthens both the offensive and defensive units. Players recovering from setbacks are expected to bring back experience and talent, adding significant value.
Iowa State's schedule presents a mix of challenges and opportunities. They will face tough conference opponents, but also have winnable games that could boost their record. How they navigate these matchups will be crucial in determining their standing in the Big 12.
With a revamped roster and key players returning, Iowa State has the potential to compete for the Big 12 title. Their success will depend on how quickly the new additions gel with the returners and how well they perform in a competitive conference.
