Iowa State football to send three to Big 12 Pro Day

Three Iowa State football players will be part of a special pre-NFL Draft Pro Day from NFL Network.

The 2025 Big 12 Pro Day takes place inside the Ford Center at The Star March 18-21 in Texas. NFL Network will provide six hours of coverage on March 19-20.

Attending and representing the Cyclones will be Jarrod Hufford, Jaylon Jackson and J.R. Singleton.

This is the second year of the event that is held in partnership with the NFL. Over 200 Big 12 football student-athletes will be in attendance to perform in front of nearly 300 NFL scouts and personnel.

“The Big 12 and NFL are providing a world-class experience for football student-athletes to receive a respectful, dignified, and comprehensive talent evaluation,” said Troy Vincent, Sr., NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations. “In addition to on-field assessments, the prospects receive mentorship, professional development resources, and tremendous media exposure as they prepare for their future.”

Hufford will work out on Wednesday, March 19 with the offensive linemen followed by Singleton with the defensive linemen and linebackers. Jackson works out on Thursday, March 20 with the running backs.
