Random ISU FB player you remember

Josh Lenz

I saw Josh Lenz play a lot of high school basketball and he was a freak of nature athlete. Like, routinely blocking guys at the top of the backboard, chase downs, highlight poster dunks, all over the floor "wow moment" type of stuff. So much fun to watch

edit: had to look it up - forty times of 4.36 and 4.37 at the ISU Pro Day. He added a 38.5-inch vertical and 10-foot-1 broad jump

Matt Blair.
Ran into Matt's family while I was working out in the Old State Gym on a Saturday morning. They were looking for the football office to meet up with Matt and the coaching staff. Took them over to the office (old stadium) and got introduced to Matt. I accept full responsibility for the successful recruitment of an all time great Cyclone. Matt would always stop and talk when we saw each other on campus.

Shawn Moorhead

Met him during what I think was his freshman year at a house party. Some of my friends became good friends with him for awhile. I think he broke out that next season or the one after and ended up being a really good player. Held the ISU sack record for quite awhile.

Corey Dunn

Punter from Australia

Once upon a time there was a middle linebacker named Mike Shane. I think he made all the tackles on a famously porous "bad times at ISU" defense. I always imagined that he spent each Saturday night in a hyperbaric chamber to recover.

DeAndre Jackson and Alvin Bowen were a couple of my favorites as a kid. Jesse Smith later on.

Story time. I've probably told it on CF a couple times.
I was partners with Reggie George (basketball) and DeAndre Jackson (football) in a class at ISU.
Reggie: Man, midterms came out, I'm getting failing a class and got a D in another.
Me: Oh man, that sucks. I got a C- in Physics, I'll be alright though. How'd you do DeAndre?
DeAndre: F's. (long pause) Six F's.

Reggie laughing hysterically and me not knowing what to do.

Blaise Bryant- RB from 88 - 92 ish. First team Big 8 and 3rd team All American. Good player but great name. Drafted but didn't make it in NFL.

He was the first name I thought of as well.

Also Alex Espinosa. QB around that time or a little earlier. I was young, but the name stuck with me.

D'Andre Payne - Football Coach - Iowa State Athletics

D’Andre Payne returns to the Cyclone football program as a Quality Control assistant for the Iowa State defense. Payne was as a graduate assistant for the Cy...

D'Andre Payne, arguably the start of the 3-3-5 defense's success (along with DL). Requires excellent and variable SS/'Star' play and he was the first guy to deliver that.

Payne was a star in Iowa State’s secondary from 2016-18, starting 31 games while racking up 130 tackles, 13.0 TFL, 14 pass breakups and two interceptions in his outstanding Cyclone career.

Aaron Horne - a very underrated WR. He had one game, I think it was KU in 2011 in Ames, where he made the whole defense look like fools. KU had him completely surrounded but he gave a juke move and ran for a TD.
