Mike Rose spoke to the media for the first time on Friday afternoon at the Jacobson Building following the 2018 season. At Iowa State, true freshmen are not allowed to be interviewed, so he was hit with all sorts of questions.

Rose touched on his 2018 year, being recruited with Iowa State as his only Power 5 offer, rooming with Brock Purdy and some of his goals for the 2019 season – which included winning the Big 12 championship.
