The Iowa State Cyclones football staff has been hard at work the last few weeks building and laying the foundation for the future of the program.

With the spring session coming to an end, first-year head coach Jimmy Rogers has a better idea of how things will look when the regular season rolls around this fall. It was also a great opportunity to host and meet some prospects.

A few additions were made to the Class of 2027 with players committing to the Cyclones. Work is also being done with the Class of 2028, where Iowa State is looking to continue stockpiling talent in the trenches.

Most recently, they made an offer to four-star offensive lineman Cannon Zubeck. He shared the news on his personal X account that Cyclones’ offensive line coach Jake Thornton extended an offer to him.

The Shawnee Mission East High School product is a man amongst boys at that level. He is listed at 6-foot-7 and 268 pounds. In his X bio, he shared that he plays on both sides of the ball as an offensive tackle and defensive end.

Since his offer came from Thornton, it is fair to assume Iowa State views him as an offensive line prospect. He is an elite prospect, and it comes as no surprise that so many teams are already pursuing him, given the strong ratings he has received.

Rivals gave him a 93, ranking him No. 20 nationally, No. 3 amongst players at his position and the No. 1 player in Kansas. 247Sports rated him as a 90, putting him at No. 132 overall, No. 15 amongst the offensive tackles and No. 3 in his state.

He has already received 10 offers, including from the Cyclones, all of which are from Power Conference programs. Three of them have come from Big 12 rivals of Iowa State: the Kansas State Wildcats, Kansas Jayhawks and Oklahoma State Cowboys.

After a great conversation with @CoachThornton61 I’m blessed to receive an offer from Iowa State university! #gocyclones@M_Simoneau @RecruitLancerFB @SMEastFootball @CoachZubeck @CoachAGeddis316 @AllenTrieu @GregSmithRivals pic.twitter.com/PLGbEBh3I6

Offers haven’t come from the Iowa Hawkeyes or Ohio State Buckeyes yet, but both teams have shown some level of interest in him to make the list, since Zubeck did make unofficial visits to both schools.

A multi-sport athlete, he also plays first base and pitches on the baseball team and is a member of the basketball team.

Iowa State has yet to secure a commitment from a player in the Class of 2028, and would love it if Zubeck eventually became the first. Rogers has placed an emphasis on building up the offensive line pipeline and has followed through with multiple players in the Class of 2027.
