Here’s where Iowa, Iowa State and UNI players who were not drafted have signed. This list will be updated as more signings happen.
Iowa’s Dane Belton and Iowa State’s Enyi Uwazurike and Charlie Kolar heard their names called Saturday. Iowa’s Tyler Goodson was among the players to go undrafted.
The San Francisco 49ers drafted former Iowa State quarterback Brock Purdy with the 262nd overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
Breece Hall almost ended the Cyclones’ first-round-pick drought, but the Jets’ attempts at trading up Thursday night were unsuccessful.
Charlie Kolar was the third Cyclone picked in the 2022 NFL Draft and the first Iowa State tight end to be drafted since 2002.
Enyi Uwazurike was the second Iowa State Cyclone to hear his name called in the 2022 NFL Draft, being selected by the Denver Broncos.
Breece Hall was the first running back taken in the 2022 NFL Draft after the New York Jets traded up to grab the former Iowa State standout.
Thursday night is another reminder of how bloated and self-important the NFL can be.
It’s likely Iowa State will see more players picked in the NFL Draft this year than anytime in recent memory. Scattered across the country for draft prep, deep bonds keep the former Cyclones united.
Iowa State running back Breece Hall is broadly considered to be NFL-ready, but still slated by most draft analysts to be a second- or third-round pick, which could mean a lot of teams will actually “miss” on him.
Iowa State sixth-year senior linebacker O’Rien Vance became a strong leader while sitting out parts of last season with an injury.
Ankeny quarterback J.J. Kohl is currently Iowa State’s top-rated recruit in the class of 2023 and will bring an array of arm-based skills to the program.
Getting young players in front of fans early, and in cold weather, is all part of the plan for Iowa State football coach Matt Campbell.
