Iowa State adds prep WR to 2015 class

In what was a large recruiting weekend for the Iowa State football program, Paul Rhoads added at least one commitment to his 2015 class. 

Carson Epps, a wide receiver out of Jenks, Okla., tweeted on Sunday that he had made his pledge to Iowa State. 

"Officially a Cyclone," it read. 

Simple enough. 

There is another layer to the commitment of this 6-foot, 200-pound prospect. He is the cousin of another Iowa State wide receiver commitment, Denver Johnson, who tweeted this photo of the two in Iowa State jerseys on Friday. 

Epps caught 66 passes for just over 1,100 yards and 11 touchdowns in his senior season.

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.
