Iowa State picked up their second commitment of the day on Sunday when Florida cornerback OJ Tucker made his pledge to Matt Campbell’s program, a source confirmed to Cyclone Fanatic.

The 6-foot-1, 190-pound three-star from Ocala, Fla. joined Michigan graduate transfer David Dawson in making his commitment.

Tucker is rated as the No. 86 cornerback in the class by 247 Composite. He chose the Cyclones over offers from Maryland, Nebraska, Florida Atlantic, North Carolina and more than 15 other programs.

He took an official visit to Ames over the weekend. Stay tuned to Cyclone Fanatic for more on this story.
