Jordyn Bailey - Unavailable for spring game Bailey (undisclosed) sat out Iowa State's spring showcase, per 247Sports.

Impact Bailey looked primed to be a factor for the Cyclones after three mostly seasons at TCU, but he's battling an ailment that's limiting his participation this offseason. He'll look to get healthy by fall camp and make a strong impression on the practice field closer to the season.

Evan Boyd - Stands out this spring Boyd has stood out this spring and has built a good rapport with quarterback Jaylen Raynor, per 247Sports.

Impact Boyd spent the 2025 season at Michigan State, where he caught just three passes for 54 yards. The wideout appears to be in line for a big season, however, and should hold down a starting role in Ames this fall. The fact that he's developing chemistry with presumed starting quarterback Jaylen Raynor will also certainly help him earn playing time.

APRIL 28 • ROTOWIRE

Aiden Flora - Looks ready for big workload Flora appears slated to handle a big workload for the Cyclones this fall alongside Cameron Pettaway, per 247Sports.

Impact Flora ran for 58 yards and one touchdown last fall as a reserve back in Ames. Now, he looks primed for what should easily be the biggest workload of his career. Expect plenty of touches for both Flora and Pettaway this fall.

Cameron Pettaway - Looking like a starter Pettaway looks like a top halfback in Ames along with Aiden Flora, per 247Sports.

Impact Pettaway ran for 365 yards and hauled in 139 receiving yards last season at Bowling Green. Now, he's primed for a big role in Iowa State's backfield alongside Flora, the two of whom look slated to make up a one-two punch for the Cyclones.

Salahadin Allah - Ends spring in cast Allah ended spring practice with a cast on his right foot/leg, per 247Sports.

Impact Allah, who transferred to Iowa State from Oregon State this offseason, looks primed for a solid role in the Cyclones' backfield. However, he was spotted in a cast towards the end of spring practice, throwing his status into question. The tailback still has a few months before fall camp, when there should be an update on his availability.

APRIL 28 • ROTOWIRE

Jaylen Raynor - Poised to claim starting role Raynor is in the lead for Iowa State's QB1 title, per 247Sports.

Impact Raynor spent the past three seasons at Arkansas State. The dual-threat gunslinger tossed for 3,361 yards, 19 touchdowns and 11 interceptions while completing 67 percent of his passes. He also ran for 423 yards and seven scores. In his senior season, the quarterback looks primed to run the Cyclones' offense.

Carter Pabst - Looks good in spring Pabst (undisclosed) is shining in spring practice, per Iowa State On SI.

Impact Pabst was dealing with an injury, but he's reportedly shining in spring ball and appears primed to make an impact. Needless to say, the wideout is trending upwards ahead of the 2026 season and is at full health.

Jordyn Bailey - Iowa State signs Bailey Bailey has signed with Iowa State, Chris Hummer of 247Sports reports.

Impact Bailey first enrolled at TCU during 2023, for which the wide receiver's season includes 103 receiving yards. After a three-touchdown 2024, he logged an unimpressive 2025 in the Big 12. Ideally for Bailey, transferring B12 colleges is how his statistical output improves.
