Talented linebacker commits; highlight video

Iowa State’s football recruiting trail could not be any hotter. 

On Monday morning, the Cyclones went into Kansas and stole a good looking linebacker by the name of Marcel Spears from Missouri, Kansas State and Kansas. 

Spears, who stands 6-2, 205-pounds, hails from Olathe, Kan. and is the third prospect to commit to Iowa State’s 2015 class in the past week. He joins running back Devine Ozigbo and offensive lineman Julian Good-Jones, who also held offers from high-major programs.

Chris was hired as Cyclone Fanatic’s publisher in the fall of 2009. He is Iowa State football's postgame show host on the Cyclone Radio Network and can be heard daily from 4-7 on Des Moines' top-rated sports station, 1460 KXnO. Williams, a 2007 graduate of Iowa State’s Greenlee School of Journalism, is the former publisher of the old CycloneNation.com (Scout.com). He has also written for the Des Moines Register, the Ames Tribune, CycloneReport.com and is the former sports director at KMA Radio. When Williams isn’t working, you can usually find him doing something outdoors with his wife Ashley, daughter Camryn, and Golden Retriever Dierks. He enjoys golfing, boating, country music, the Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Braves and is passionate about any and all motor sports so finding Williams at a local dirt track is very common.
