It’s still way too early to know exactly what Matt Campbell’s offense will look like at Iowa State but he has one fantastic piece to work with during the 2016 season. 

That’s Mike Warren, Iowa State’s running back who ran for 1,339 yards as a freshman, which topped all other rookies in college football. Warren, who barely played in the first two games of the season, averaged 111.6 yards per game on the ground. 

Overall, Warren was the 24th leading rusher in college football and the third best in the Big 12. He averaged 5.9 yards per carry and got into the end zone five times during Iowa State’s three-win campaign.

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.
