Who wears #58 in 2019?

[Hayes30]

Who will be awarded #58 this season. My guess is Matt Leo or JaQuan Bailey. I would love for it to be Bailey. As good as he has been bringing Iowa State to the level we are at now I think he deserves it 100%.

Not sure if they will continue the tradition but Bailey would make the most sense.

I think the # is awarded right as fall camp ends.

Ray Lima.

Happy they have continued this. Hopefully it's always something we do. Glad to keep Coach Bray relevant all these years after his passing.

Can anybody explain the tradition? Don’t remember hearing about it in past years

Coach Bray was a member of Rhoad’s staff as a defensive ends coach who passed away unexpectedly. His jersey # was 58, so leading members of the D line started donning 58 to keep his memory alive.

Could not have picked a better person to wear it on this team IMO.

Knowing what kind of guy Lima is, I'm sure he's very humbled by it, and honored.

And his family is still in Ames so it’s especially nice a different coaching staff keeps it up.

Ray is absolutely the right pick for this honor.
