Cyclones go big on JUCO OL

The Cyclones are in the mix with four other SEC programs and one in ACC, trying to secure the services of a huge JUCO offensive tackle in the Class of 2017.

Mississippi Gulf Coast freshman D’Marcus Hayes was offered by the Cyclones during the winter and was in during spring evaluations.

In addition to I-State, Hayes has Power-5 offers from the likes of Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Louisville and Mississippi State.
