FOOTBALL IS HAPPENING.
Teams across the country have opened camp, position battles are taking place, and optimism can be found everywhere. That includes our beloved Cyclones camping in Ames and trying to dig out of the 5-19 hole they earned the previous two seasons.
As we did last year, we'll tour you through all of the positions on the roster and rank them from worst to best. For better or worse, we'll start with a unit that requires no introductions.
This is your 2015 preview of Iowa State's linebackers.

The Leader
We're 100 words in to our first preview of the season and we already have a problem: there is no leader of this group.
