Iowa State Football Set To Host San Diego State Target for Visit

His campus visit will be a great opportunity for Rogers and the coaching staff to show him how things will be run at the football program under their watch and showcase how he may fit into their long-term plans.

Whether it is as a pass catcher on offense or a ball-hawking safety on defense, the Cyclones are going to be ready to sell Pierre on what his future could look like in Ames should he commit to the program down the road.

While he has received only one scholarship offer to this point, interest has been shown in him by several Power Conference programs. Beyond San Diego State and Iowa State, Rivals lists the Iowa Hawkeyes, Indiana Hoosiers, Illinois Fighting Illini and Purdue Boilermakers as interested teams.

As he prepares for his junior season with H L Richards, Ray is going to be someone worth keeping a close eye on. He doesn’t currently have a ranking at the recruiting outlets, but that could change quickly if he continues trending in the right direction.

Looking ahead, based on the current Cyclones roster, they certainly need some long-term options at wide receiver. There are no redshirt freshmen on the 2026 roster and only three incoming freshmen for the year.

On the defensive side of the ball, they are in much better shape in the secondary long-term. There are three safeties in the Class of 2026, joining two redshirt freshmen also on the roster. The pipeline is well stocked beyond the three senior safeties currently in the mix, but that includes Braden Awls, who suffered an ACL tear in practice recently.
