The Iowa State Cyclones will be very busy in the coming days and weeks, as the transfer portal opens. As expected, with the transfer portal opening up, a majority of the Cyclones' team is set to leave the program.
Nebraska football's first transfer portal targets are coming into focus for the Big Red in the opening hours of the 2026 window. The Huskers are set to host Iowa State offensive line transfer Brendan Black on Jan.
The college football transfer portal has officially opened, as of Jan. 2, which means teams, like South Carolina, can legally talk with players and their agents in the portal.
There are several positional groups that the Iowa State Cyclones are essentially going to be starting over from scratch in 2026. With Matt Campbell leaving for the Penn State Nittany Lions after 10 years on the job and being replaced by Jimmy Rogers, a large portion of the roster is departing.
