Our 2023 position group previews continue with our final defensive positon group, the cornerbacks. Under the direction of new DB coach Hank Poteat, this talented looks to be arguably the strongest position group on the entire roster, and one that can propel the Cyclones to yet another elite defense.
Departures
The only departure from this group is Tayvonn Kyle, who left the program after five years and entered the transfer portal, eventually ending up at Virginia, where he’ll have a good shot to start. He finished his Iowa State career having played in 42 games, registering 76 total tackles, twelve deflections, and one interception.
