Walk-Ons Shining Bright for Cyclones | Iowa State Cyclones Basketball News

Iowa State’s walk-ons are rewriting the script this season, turning underdog stories into game-changers. Vince Benetti, once with zero catches, now scores touchdowns—just one of many unsung heroes rising under Coach Matt Campbell’s leadership. Players like Aiden Flora and Easton Miller are proving that grit, not scholarships, wins games. These self-funded athletes bring a relentless “blue-collar” drive that fuels the team’s identity. Don’t overlook them in the Iowa showdown—Kyle Konrardy’s clutch kicks and emerging stars like Benetti could deliver the biggest surprises. This is a Cyclones team built on heart, where every player, no matter their start, has a shot to shine. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
