Cyclone Roundup: Significant football recruiting weekend ahead

Football Recruiting

Iowa State will host two significant 2014 football recruiting prospects on unofficial visits this weekend. 

That’s according to on of three 2014 Cyclone commits, wide receiver Allen Lazard at least. Here is a look. 

Allen Lazard ‏@AllenLazard

"Heard @elmore2014 and @seonbuchner23 are coming to Ames this weekend for a visit!! Hope you boys enjoy it! #cyclONEnation show some love!!"

@elmore2014 is the Twitter account of Gaelin Elmore, a 6-foot-5, 240-pound tight end out of Somerset, Wisc. Rivals.com ranks Elmore as the 19th best tight end in the 2014 class. 

According to his profile, Elmore currently holds offers from Nebraska, Michigan State, Indiana, Minnesota and Wisconsin. 

Elmore retweeted Lazard so I can only assume that he indeed is visiting Ames. 

— @seanbuchner23 is Sam Seonbuchner, a 6-foot-2 outside linebacker out of Heartland Arrowhead, also in Wisconsin. According to his profile at Rivals.com, Seonbuchner holds offers from Iowa State, Ball State, Bowling Green, Ohio and North Dakota State. 

Replacing Otzelberger

*** I’ve got nothing to "report" today other than the fact that all signs are pointing to former Nebraska head coach Doc Sadler being the man. Stay tuned, although I’m told it could be weeks before anything is officially announced.

Chris Williams

Chris was hired as Cyclone Fanatic’s publisher in the fall of 2009. He is Iowa State football's postgame show host on the Cyclone Radio Network and can be heard daily from 4-7 on Des Moines' top-rated sports station, 1460 KXnO. Williams, a 2007 graduate of Iowa State’s Greenlee School of Journalism, is the former publisher of the old CycloneNation.com (Scout.com). He has also written for the Des Moines Register, the Ames Tribune, CycloneReport.com and is the former sports director at KMA Radio. When Williams isn’t working, you can usually find him doing something outdoors with his wife Ashley, daughter Camryn, and Golden Retriever Dierks. He enjoys golfing, boating, country music, the Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Braves and is passionate about any and all motor sports so finding Williams at a local dirt track is very common.
