Over the next two weeks, we'll be featuring 10 Big 12 players who are on the spot this spring. Maybe they are coming back from injury. Maybe they have much to prove after a disappointing 2015 season. Maybe they are embroiled in a key position battle. Whatever the case, this spring is big for them.
Today's player on the spot: Iowa State safety Kamari Cotton-Moya
Cotton-Moya looked like a future star in the Big 12 at this point a year ago. Fresh off a redshirt freshman campaign that saw him earn conference defensive freshman of the year honors in 2014, Cotton-Moya looked like a critical piece to build the Cyclones' defense around.
