Iowa State quarterback Dom De Lira has left the program and defensive tackle Terry Ayeni will not be returning to the Cyclones, according to an ISU spokesman.
De Lira redshirted in his first year with ISU last season. The former three-star prospect from Texas was passed on the depth chart by newcomer Zeb Noland in the spring and would likely end up behind incoming transfer Jacob Park when the season rolled around.
Injuries limited the 6-foot-2, 270-pound Ayeni, who is forgoing his senior year. A summer knee injury caused him to redshirt his first year on campus in 2014 and he didn’t see the field last season.
