Iowa State Has Zero Returning Starters in 2026
After the departure of longtime head coach Matt Campbell, Iowa State enters the 2026 campaign with zero returning offensive or defensive starters. Jimmy Rogers' first year at the helm is likely to feature significant growing pains, but the 39-year-old is not conceding to having a rough season. "There's a lot of curiosity about our roster, but I'm very confident in the players we've been able to bring in," Rogers said. "We'll be very competitive." Rogers takes over the Cyclones program after a 6-6 season at Washington State that followed a 27-3 run and an FCS National Championship in two seasons at South Dakota State. While the odds are stacked against his program in 2026, he is used to dealing with roster turnover at the FCS level.
