Each morning roommates Jarnor Jones and Kamari Cotton-Moya wake up early. They often talk about what is next.

For Jones, it’s the same thing. Making an impact at his new home, nickel back.

“He’s ready to show what he has,” said Cotton-Moya, a safety.

Jones wants to make nickel back a main position, a destination spot for those coming into the Iowa State defense.

And the Cyclones would love it to happen because Jones is one five 2015 junior college transfers they’re counting on to help revitalize the defense.
