Mitch was out on the recruiting trail earlier this week at a showcase event. He shared some players from the state of Utah, who have BYU interest, and other players who caught his attention. The spring football tour of BYU opponents in 2026 continues. Today, we look at the new-look Iowa State Cyclones.
