DES MOINES, Iowa — About 200 adoring fans patiently lined up along a downtown city block here to meet Matt Campbell on a hot August evening.

Campbell signed everything from paper scraps to ball caps before high-fiving many of his fans.
This hoopla went on for about an hour.
“When you talk to Matt, he makes everyone feel like you’re his best friend," Iowa State booster Jon Fleming said.
