BREAKING: Iowa State's Depth Chart PROVES Defense Will Be BEST In Big 12

Iowa State Cyclones reveal a bold new depth chart for the 2026 football season—could fresh faces fuel an unstoppable defense? Jalen Raynor locks in as starting quarterback, while a fierce backup battle brews between Connor Moberly and Zane Flores. Aiden Flora headlines a dynamic running back committee, and the wide receiver group looks for a breakout with Evan Boyd, Amari Hayes, and Cody Jackson leading the charge. Up front, Jake Taylor and Caden Moss anchor an offensive line with key position battles to watch. On defense, Isaac Terrell emerges as a leader among disruptive defensive ends, with Bryson Lamb and Max Balloon commanding the interior. Carson Willick, Sullivan Schlimgen, and Willie Breeland III headline the linebacker corps, while new starters in the secondary spark questions about chemistry and readiness. With only one returning starter, can Jimmy Rogers’ squad overcome inexperience and set a new standard in the Big 12?   Image Credit: Nirmalendu Majumdar - Imagn Images   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
