2018:
QB - Stanley
RB - Montgomery
TE - Fant
OL - JGJ
OL - Meeker ---- Meeker has the size & potential but its a coin flip between him & an Iowa OL.
OL - Wirfs
OL - Jackson
OL - Knipfel
WR - Butler
WR - Eaton
WR - Jones ---- If Jones gains consistency this will be him but Easley is steady.
DL - Lima
DL - Nelson
DL - Bailey
DL - ??? Probably Hesse based on returning production. He's consistent.
LB - Spears
LB - Harvey
LB - ??? No clue about Iowa's LB's but ISU's 3rd LB and Iowa's would be inexperienced.
CB - Peavy
CB - Payne
S - Hooker
S - ??? Based on Eisworth being named defensive MVP of Spring ball i'd mention him, but probably an Iowa player based on experience
I think the offense is pretty easy to figure out, defense is much harder though. There's definitely a top 8 on defense IMO then you have some question marks. Can Iowa have a DT or LB that is good? Can Vance be the guy in the middle for ISU? Can Eisworth be the dude ISU needs? Lots of TBD
