Position Preview: Special Teams
Special teams may be the one area where Iowa State enters the 2026 season with more proven talent than questions.

The biggest competition will come at punter, where the Cyclones must replace Tyler Perkins. With Rob Grande returning as special team’s coordinator and Ron Pavlik and Jacob Studdard joining the staff, Iowa State has put plenty of attention into a group that could decide several close games this fall.
