The Cyclones’ secondary finds themselves in an interesting position for 2015. They return one of the best cornerback/safety tandems in the conference, yet they have question marks in most other positions on the field.

Kamari Cotton-Moya is a great talent to watch, and may end up being one of the best defenders Iowa State has had in a while. Nigel Tribune will be Iowa State’s starting cornerback, and brings great instincts to the game. If Paul Rhoads can fill out the depth chart with more talent around these two key players, the Cyclones could begin to turn things around in 2015… at least against the pass.
