2020 Recruit Scouting Report: Xavier Hutchinson

After losing Allen Lazard and Hakeem Butler in consecutive seasons, Iowa State was without a true “alpha” receiver for the 2019 season. No matter, as the Cyclone passing attack set a bunch of school records and ranked as one of the best in the country overall.

Heading into 2020, Iowa State loses to big pieces in Deshaunte Jones and La’Michael Pettway, both of whom were crucial third down targets and could effectively pick up yards after the catch. Tarique Milton and Sean Shaw appear to be the two shoe-in starters at this point, but the Cyclone will be looking for their third starter to make an impact early on.
