Football: Epps in line to play as true freshman

Iowa State could see two true freshman take the field in 2015.

A strong camp from wide receiver Carson Epps has put him in a position to avoid a redshirt and suit up this season.

“Joshua Thomas and Carson Epps are probably both a go right now,” coach Paul Rhoads said.

Thomas, a running back, is no surprise to play. There isn’t much depth at running back and Thomas was brought in to contribute in 2015.

Epps is a surprise. There were plenty of returning players at receiver, but Epps showed the coaching staff he is ready for Big 12 football by reminding them of one of their other receivers.
