Iowa State Cyclones News

Cameron Pettaway - Unlikely to start despite strong spring Pettaway is unlikely to be the Cyclones' starting halfback this fall, losing out to Aiden Flora, per Bill Seals of Cyclone Report.

Impact Pettaway is coming off what was reportedly a strong spring camp, one in which he looked like a starter. Still, returnee Aiden Flora looks to have the upper hand in the halfback room and is reportedly expected to be the Cyclones RB1 this fall. Pettaway should still see plenty of touches behind him, but the Bowling Green transfer may not have the starting role he envisioned upon transferring to Iowa State.

Aiden Flora - In line for starting role Flora looks like Iowa State's starting tailback, per Bill Seals of Cyclone Report.

Impact Flora has been stuck behind talented veterans Carson Hansen and Abu Sama for the duration of his Cyclones career, but the tailback finally looks primed for a starting role. He only saw six touches last season, notching four carries for 58 yards and score with two catches for 25 yards to boot. Still, expect him to take the first carry against Southeast Missouri on Sept. 5 and to lead the Cyclones' backfield throughout the season.
