Clear Lake Football Standout Lands Iowa State Offer

Coming off a strong freshman campaign, Clear Lake High School’s Maddon McIntire is already generating plenty of college interest.

McIntire recently picked up an offer from Iowa State after attending a camp hosted by the Cyclones.

As a freshman last fall, he caught 14 passes for 222 yards and three touchdowns, adding 35 yards rushing on three attempts. McIntire also had 11.5 tackles on defense, as seven were solo stops, while handling three combined kickoff and punt returns.

The Lions will be looking for McIntire to become an even bigger piece of the offense in 2026 after graduating their three leading receivers in Kolby Hodnefield, Sam Dodge and Trevor Theobald.
